Yay: Build Failure with `go` Package

[CurtisLeeBolin]

I removed go as @Jguer suggested in Comment to let it reinstall as a dependency with makepkg -si for yay. I cloned a fresh copy of yay, and it still failed to build. go version go1.13.3 linux/amd6

I also tried gcc-go as suggested; it built fine with gcc-go. go version go1.12.2 gccgo (GCC) 9.2.0 linux/amd64

$ sudo pacman -Rscc go
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
$ cd yay
$ makepkg -si

[Jguer]

This is a go install issue probably, all mentions I've read on this type of error are unclean upgrades of go.
Possibly removing your ${HOME}/go could help it but I'm grasping at straws here

[CurtisLeeBolin]

yay is the only thing I use that depends on go. I don't have a ~/go/ directory. I'll uninstall gcc-go, search for and remove any remnants of go in ${HOME}, and try to build with go again.

@crh23, are you also still having trouble?

[Jguer]

So no hand installations of go, no exotic hardware, no minimalistic arch build missing things like linux-api-headers?

[CurtisLeeBolin]

The only thing I have removed from base is systemd-sysvcompat. Everything else I would say is pretty normal. linux-api-headers is installed.

[edgex004]

I also hit this error today. I have go-bindata and go-pie installed, but I did not install go manually.

[edgex004]

Changing from go-pie to gcc-go fixed it for me.

@Jguer, I am closing this because I tried building it in docker, and it built fine. Something on my 5+ years old installation of Arch Linux must be causing this. I appreciate your help.
