What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. write code like syscall.Access("foo", syscall.X_OK)
2. try to run "go run a.go"
3. Get error:
./a.go:8: undefined: syscall.X_OK

What is the expected output?
Expect [RXW]_OK to exist. Otherwise how can syscall.Access() be used?

What do you see instead?
Compile error.

Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?
whichever is the amd64 one.

Which operating system are you using?
Linux

Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')
go version go1.1 linux/amd64

Please provide any additional information below.

Filing bug as requested.

Comment 3:

syscall.Access can be used because these constants are the same as the file permission
bits. R_OK=4, W_OK=2, X_OK=1, F_OK=0, on all systems. People just wrote the numbers
before POSIX came along and decided to name everything.
Not critical, so leaving for Go 1.3.

Labels changed: added go1.3maybe, removed go1.2maybe.
