2.What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="darwin"
GOOS="darwin"

3.What did you do?

I install go 1.7 from https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.7.darwin-amd64.pkg. I create a helloworld project and type go build, it comes the following errors:

fatal error: runtime: bsdthread_register error

runtime stack:

    /usr/local/go/src/runtime/asm_amd64.s:145 +0x14f fp=0x7fff5fbff2f8 sp=0x7fff5fbff2f0

4.The OS information is :

ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.10.5
BuildVersion:   14F27

Running unset DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES has no effect.

Thanks helping in advance.

Dup of #8801 I suspect.

Are you running antivirus software?

[kevingo]

@bradfitz Thanks for replying. I think I do not install any AV or antivirus software.

[bradfitz]

Well, something is different on your machine, because we test Go on all versions of OS X continuously and we haven't seen this problem.

Is it your work computer, or personal?

[kevingo]

@bradfitz It's work computer.

[bradfitz]

Work computer makes me suspect antivirus even more. Companies love antivirus.

Can you look at process list and verify there's nothing else running?

Does the problem not happen with Go 1.6?

ping @kevingo

Brad asked if it happens on Go 1.6 and whether you can check your system process list and see if there's any anti virus software lurking.

I'm also curious if there are any other DYLD environment variables (env | grep DYLD).

[kevingo]

@rsc @bradfitz Hi, I re-install my computer and everything works fine now. And the env | grep DYLD output nothing.

Thanks for the reminder.
