I have a very different understanding of the situation; the best description of the situation I can find is https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/programming/Go116Op... (discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25997506 ) - from that article,

> The official API for Illumos and Solaris system calls requires you to use their C library, and OpenBSD wants you to do this as well for security reasons (for OpenBSD system call origin verification). Go has used the C library on Solaris and Illumos for a long time, but through Go 1.15 it made direct system calls on OpenBSD and so current released versions of OpenBSD had a special exemption from their system call origin verification because of it.
