The go/build package already recognizes
system-specific file names like
mycode_darwin.go
mycode_darwin_386.go
mycode_386.s
However, it is also common to write files that
apply to multiple architectures, so a recent CL added
to go/build the ability to process comments
listing a set of conditions for building. For example:
// +build darwin freebsd openbsd/386
says that this file should be compiled only on
OS X, FreeBSD, or 32-bit x86 OpenBSD systems.
These conventions are not yet documented
(hence this long CL description).
This CL adds build comments to the multi-system
files in the core library, a step toward making it
possible to use go/build to build them.
With this change go/build can handle crypto/rand,
exec, net, path/filepath, os/user, and time.
os and syscall need additional adjustments.

This CL makes it possible to resolve DNS names on OS X
without offending the Application-Level Firewall.
It also means that cross-compiling from one operating
system to another is no longer possible when using
package net, because cgo needs to be able to sniff around
the local C libraries. We could special-case this one use
and check in generated files, but it seems more trouble
than it's worth. Cross compiling is dead anyway.
It is still possible to use either GOARCH=amd64 or GOARCH=386
on typical Linux and OS X x86 systems.
It is also still possible to build GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm on
any system, because arm is for now excluded from this change
(there is no cgo for arm yet).
