Request for NSQ v0.3.8 Rebuild with Latest Go and ARM64 Support

[diogotorres97]

Hi NSQ team,

We're still using v0.3.8 of NSQ in production due to stability and compatibility reasons with our systems. However, we are currently migrating our infrastructure to ARM-based servers (specifically ARM64), and would like to benefit from the performance and efficiency improvements of the latest Go versions on that architecture.

Would it be possible to release a rebuilt version of v0.3.8 (e.g., v0.4.0) compiled with a modern Go compiler that supports ARM64 natively?

We understand that this is a legacy release, but maintaining compatibility with the older version while allowing us to benefit from newer compiler/runtime optimizations would be incredibly helpful for our migration strategy.

Thanks in advance for your consideration, and thank you for your continued maintenance of this project!

🤔 is there particular challenge you have in building and hosting your own build of 0.3.8? I'm also curious what specific items are holding you back from upgrading to the 1.x releases
