https://github.com/golang/go/commit/76d39ae3499238ac7efb731f4f4cd47b1b3288ab
seems to add a call to notify_is_valid_token, and the reasoning for doing
so is apparently to work around some bug in exec(), as described in https
://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/451735/3//COMMIT_MSG#49
It's not clear if the bug that's being worked around existed on older osx
versions as well. Polyfilling this function seems quite difficult as it
accesses a lot of internal state of libnotify. (It's theoretically
possible to do this of course, since libnotify is open source and we can
see the implementation, but it would require a lot of runtime hijinks to
get the address of hidden visibility symbols).
Probably the easier approach is patching Go itself.
