• Prepare your workspace directory:

    export GOPATH=`pwd`
    git clone https://github.com/google/namebench.git src/github.com/google/namebench
    go get github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
    go get code.google.com/p/go.net/publicsuffix
    go get github.com/miekg/dns

• Build it.

You should have an executable named 'namebench' in the current directory.
