Hi,

go for NetBSD aarch64 is not quite there yet. But with the recent
COMPAT_NETBSD32 fixes it should be possible to build go binary packages
in a 32-bit earmv7hf chroot. Since go binaries are statically linked
you can then force-install the resulting package on your 64-bit host.

Kind regards,
-Tobias
