For GOOS=nacl, we use the srpc service to communicate with the nacl sandbox to get things like random data. This is implemented in a quasi syscall, called sys_namespace (syscall/tables_nacl.go).

This syscall is present in pepper_41, but missing in pepper_44, which the current stable pepper version.

For Go 1.6, we should find out where this service has gone, and if there is a replacement. In the interim, nacl users should stick to pepper_41 or lower.

The nacl release notes are obtuse on the fate of sRPC, https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/sdk/release-notes

The SRPC name service was removed in https://codereview.chromium.org/891603002

The tracking bug is https://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/issues/detail?id=3864

We use SRPC to get random bytes, only, which is handy because there is a new syscall which provides just that service, https://codereview.chromium.org/537543003

For 1.6, we should remove syscall/srpc_nacl.go and adjust our use of secure random to call this new get random bytes syscall.
