This may be spurious, but I took a fresh clone/checkout of go1.7rc1 and tried to build it using an arbitrary TIP (at the time) version of Go - one, I'm sure, that was running on NetBSD before - and came up with odd errors. It just happened to be the platform at hand at the time.
I have just verified that I can build (make.bash) the RC using go1.4, but not with the more recent TIP version: treacle$ /usr/local/go/bin/go version go version devel +b2963a5 Sun Dec 6 06:28:33 2015 +0000 netbsd/386 treacle$ /usr/local/go/bin/go env GOARCH="386" GOBIN="/home/lucio/bin" GOEXE="" GOHOSTARCH="386" GOHOSTOS="netbsd" GOOS="netbsd" GOPATH="/home/lucio/Package" GORACE="" GOROOT="/usr/local/go" GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/netbsd_386" GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT="" CC="gcc" GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m32 -pthread -fmessage-length=0" CXX="g++" CGO_ENABLED="1" treacle$ GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=/usr/local/go GOBIN= ./make.bash ##### Building Go bootstrap tool. cmd/dist # _/var/guest/go/go1.7/src/cmd/dist main.install: runtime.growslice_n: not defined main.install: runtime.growslice_n: not defined main.dopack: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.mkzosarch: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.mkzosarch: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.mkzosarch: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.mkzcgo: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.mkzcgo: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.mkzcgo: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.xflagparse: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.(*tester).run: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.(*tester).run: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.(*tester).run: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.(*tester).run: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.(*tester).dirCmd: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.(*tester).dirCmd: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.(*tester).cgoTest: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.(*tester).cgoTest: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.(*tester).cgoTestSO: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.run: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined main.run: runtime.typ2Itab: not defined /usr/local/go/pkg/tool/netbsd_386/link: too many errors and, just in case it explains something: treacle$ CGO_ENABLED=0 GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=/usr/local/go GOBIN= ./make.bash ##### Building Go bootstrap tool. cmd/dist # _/var/guest/go/go1.7/src/cmd/dist ... produces the exact same outcome, at least to the naked eye.
