Thank you for the report.

Looking at golang/go#33896 and golang/go@88129f0, the buildmode is supported for freebsd, but not openbsd. I do not think there is anything I can do about it.

Maybe one day I research how to build this project the "right" way (with a proper package and the go compiler picking up the C sources via CGO). That might help with this issue and others like #119.

In case anyone wants to look into this, I am open for suggestions.
