Go doesn't have faster build times than C. Rather, it has a de facto single implementation that's fast because it doesn't do the same level of optimization that modern C compilers do.
The one improvement over C related to build time in Go is that you don't need include files. Granted, that's a big one. But modern C compilers make header parsing extremely fast.
