Re: Non-bootstrapping Go, COMPAT options

Go can be cross compiled easily enough that I've done it to get  Go onto an internet disconnected Linux box because that was easier than reconfiguring the network.

It seems that Go's inability to be built without using preexisting

have had COMPAT_60 and newer, but nothing older. It seems, then, that Go 
can't be used:

anath# pwd
/usr/pkgsrc/lang/go14/work/go/pkg/tool/netbsd_arm
anath# file go_bootstrap
go_bootstrap: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (NetBSD), 
statically linked, for NetBSD 5.99, with debug_info, not stripped
anath# ./go_bootstrap
Abort

Is there no better way to bootstrap Go?
