It looks like golang is going to have to deal with — again — OpenBSD treating libc as the interface with the kernel instead of syscalls being the interface with the kernel.

I wonder if there could be some way to sign a dynamic library to allow it to create direct system calls and then pass that as a kernel command line argument at boot?

Something they wouldn't have to do if they'd heeded the warnings they got since they first started going raw syscalls on non linux systems.

But as usual, go is uniquely american, only doing the right thing after it has tried everything else.

You could also describe it as doing the sane thing (avoiding hardcoding against the libc ABI through FFI) until the only sane option is removed. Did you know many libc APIs are preprocessor macros?
