How to show builtin types using `godoc -http=:6060`?

If I start

godoc -http=:6060

and then open http://localhost:6060/pkg/builtin/#string (e.g. via a function declaration that uses string as a type somewhere), I get a big red "open /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.3.3/libexec/src/builtin: no such file or directory".

How do I get godoc to work the same way as http://golang.org/pkg/builtin/#string ?

I tried go get builtin, but that did not change anything. And DuckDuckGo and Google searches did not illuminate me either.

(I've installed Go using Homebrew on OS X.)

Godoc was updated recently to match the new internal layout of Go 1.4.

Prior to 1.4, system packages went into $GOROOT/src/pkg/, in 1.4 (current dev version) they moved to$GOROOT/src.

To get the pre-1.4 compatible version:

cd $GOPATH/src/code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/godoc
hg checkout -C release-branch.go1.3
go install
