This appears to be related to issue #12407

# go version
go version go1.7 openbsd/amd64

# ls -al /dev/null
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    2,   2 Aug 20 08:42 /dev/null
# go tool dist test -no-rebuild -v go_test:cmd/go 

##### Testing packages.
# go tool dist test -run=^go_test:cmd/go$
ok      cmd/go  167.748s

ALL TESTS PASSED (some were excluded)
# ls -al /dev/null
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  968656 Aug 20 09:15 /dev/null

Disabling the TestBuildOutputToDevNull test in src/cmd/go/go_test.go with a runtime.GOOS check similar to the existing one seems to prevent the issue.

We could disable the test, or we could fix the underlying problem, if there's an underlying problem to be fixed.
