Yes, Skip is right. On your system Rune is defined as ushort instead of uint.
The change from ushort to uint was done in April 2013.

While you could successfully cross-compile Go 1.5, it will probably
not work on your machine. In fact, the nsec system call will likely be
missing as well, since it was introduced in Plan 9 in May 2014.

You should update your system.

Since plan9.bell-labs.com is currently down, you could either change
your 9fs script and change it to pull from 9p.io, like this:

http://9legacy.org/9legacy/patch/9fs-9p.io.diff

Or use the latest Plan 9 CD image:

http://9p.io/plan9/download/plan9.iso.bz2

Then, you will be able to compile and execute Go 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 successfully.
