The "+build ignore" line means that the file will not be built as part of an ordinary "go build" or "go install". For a file like syscall/types_linux.go, that is because the file originally served as input to cgo -godefs as part of generating the various ztypes_linux_GOARCH.go files. > Also, can I build the bootstrap on windows or can I only do it in a POSIX > environment - I don't see bootstrap.bat and running bootstrap.bash with > GOOS=nsx and GOARCH=amd64 simply returns back the prompt? You should be able to build a bootstrap on Windows but you'll have to either replicate bootstrap.bash in a Windows style, or you'll have to use something like cygwin to run the bootstrap.bash shell script. There aren't that many real commands in bootstrap.bash so I think that creating a minimal bootstrap.bat would be fairly simple.
