It's a bug in CentOS 5/RHEL 5 according to issue 3001, basicly the kernel ignores O_CLOEXEC.

So either ignore the error (bad idea) or move to a more recent Linux version.

Actually it should be fully working, you will get random crashes with cgo but it should be there. do you have $GOROOT/bin in your $PATH?
