--- Comment #3 from Vincent Batts vbatts@redhat.com --- """ os/user relies on cgo, and cgo is disabled for cross compiling, thus this is expected.
if you use os/user, you must compile natively on OS X.
even if we enable cross compilation cgo support, I doubt everybody have a working OS X cross toolchain on their linux machine.
