There's no problem with directly calling sycalls from OpenBSD from golang or C or whatever else. The issue here is that OpenBSD is adding a new security feature where code addresses that call syscalls must be whitelisted at link time. golang could just create their own syscall interface and linker scripts appropriately whitelisting these locations and this problem wouldn't exist.
