Try downloading the file first and pkg_add from local disk in case
there's some network issue preventing it from being fetched properly
(where "network issue" can include some OS problem with the nic, or
an issue on the network path, I have no idea how stable mips64 is
at the moment..)

I _think_ that it should still work on 7.3, though it's not uncommon for
go software to fail to build on "exotic" OS+arch combos (which is often
anything other than amd64 and possibly arm64).
