 Yes, this is a known issue. The go tool needs to know its executable
 path so it can find the standard library files. It calls
 os.Executable(), which uses /proc on NetBSD.
 
 I sent a change upstream
 (https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/629035) to make it use
 sysctl instead, like on FreeBSD and Dragonfly. We are shortly before
 the Go 1.24 freeze, I hope it can still go in.
