The point of contact for that would be me :) So what should Go put into its binaries instead of what it is putting there? The thing is, if it needs a change on the NetBSD side, does that mean breaking compatibility with released NetBSD versions?

The reason the 5.99.51 is in there is because this is what I was using at the time for testing, and it was working. 5.x releases are clearly too old, anything from 6 on is fine. 

It would be great if you could take a Go binary built on NetBSD 7 would also run on NetBSD 6 though. That’s the way this works for the other OSes, and it is a nice thing for deploying binaries.
