 I can't possibly "hear" you, but I've "read" you. You are running
 the tests and while your work is appreciated, without being able
 to reproduce your environment, I can't fix the issue. I am simply
 asking how it is possible to execute compat-netbsd32 code from a
 64 bit binary!  I understand you are upset about the go issue, but
 keep things technical, and try to be helpful. I added the code
 because nsd needs send and recv mmsg which were missing. So removing
 the code breaks nsd which is not a test... In addition, I have more
 tests that I have not committed because the code is broken in
 different ways (the code before I committed my stuff). I can revert
 the new changes and commit the new tests and then you can have
 different broken tests :-) This is what tests are all about anyway:
 to detect broken code...
