An attempt to build from a fresh checkout (and empty ~/go) gives the following error:

```auto

Any ideas on how to fix?

aha! turns out that my ~/go being missing is irrelevant, I had go in ~/opt/go 😖

Cleaning everything out seems to have fixed the build for me.

Hi @RangerRick; could you elaborate on what steps you took to resolve this? I’m facing the same error, but have a different local machine setup. Perhaps if I understand the crux of the issue you identified, that would help troubleshoot.

Thanks!
