 The reason that this changed is that the "old" way -- baking in
 GOROOT_FINAL into the binaries -- was removed in Go 1.23.
 
 For Go 1.24, my patch was accepted, and it will use sysctl
 (kern.proc.args.-1.pathname) to find the standard library files. If
 you would like, I could backport this patch to Go 1.23 in pkgsrc.
