I’m about to send the following change for review, adding the BLK* constants which I’m using in a program to re-read the partition table:

--- i/unix/mkerrors.sh

                $2 ~ /^__WCOREFLAG$/ {next}
                $2 ~ /^__W[A-Z0-9]+$/ {printf("\t%s = C.%s\n", substr($2,3), $2)}

I have a question about the process, though: when running GOARCH=amd64 GOOS=linux ./mkerrors.sh -m64 |gofmt >zerrors_linux_amd64.go I get a significant diff. I’m running the command on a Debian stretch system with linux-libc-dev 4.9.2-2.

Should the command be run on a specific system? If so, which one? Is there documentation about this which I’ve missed?
