Well, we don't have two builders going anymore.  Justin, apparently you
manually started these builders in screen?  They need to be started via
RC.init script on server startup.  I rebuilt world/kernel on pkgbox64
and rebooted recently (something that happens rather frequently) and
probably not coincidentally, the 64-bit go builder has been MIA for the
last many commits.  Anyway the builder has to started automatically, it
can't be a manual thing.

To repeat what I said in another thread, it's not a GCC thing, it's an
error definition thing.  I normally see this when "extern int errno;" is
defined instead of "#include <errno.h>".  That being said...

... I don't immediately see anything in those diffs related to errno.
Are you sure this is the commit?  The strange thing is the error seems
to be coming from running Go, not building it (where I normally see this
error)

Unfortunately we've not had a single person even inquire about picking
up this task.  If we lose Go support, nobody can say a *damn thing*
about it.
