I'm sure how to answer that except to say that you need to add support for nsx to the Go toolchain. The Go toolchain is written in Go, not C, so the mention of c99 seems irrelevant. Your first step is to build a Go toolchain that runs on your host system (not your nsx system), which you've done. The second step is to add nsx support to the toolchain. The third step is to run bootstrap.bash. The fact that bootstrap.bash gives you a program that won't run on nsx suggests that the second step is not complete.
