Greetings, I have been tracking the recent changes taking place on the Go master branch as we come up on a 1.9 official release. A couple times a week I would refresh my local Go repo with the following command: $ git pull origin master
Then, after my local repo update completes: $ cd src $ export GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=/usr/local/go1.4.3 $ ./all.bash Typically, after a few minutes, A successful build is reported. Nice. As of a couple of weeks ago, I started getting build failures after using the above procedure. I could not believe that the Go developers would leave the master branch in such a defective state. So, I decided to re-download the entire Golang repo and build the toolchain again. To my surprise, It builds successfully. So, Why is a refreshed Go repo not building the same as a newly fetched repo? The build failures are in the Package Tests section of the ./all.bash script. Here is the relevant section of the report generated during ./all.bash execution: ##### Testing packages. ok archive/tar 0.073s ok archive/zip 2.945s ok bufio 0.078s ok bytes 1.377s ok compress/bzip2 0.082s ok compress/flate 1.266s ok compress/gzip 0.025s ok compress/lzw 0.012s ok compress/zlib 0.105s ok container/heap 0.034s ok container/list 0.020s ok container/ring 0.027s ok context 1.008s ok crypto 0.011s ok crypto/aes 0.030s ok crypto/cipher 0.044s ok crypto/des 0.013s ok crypto/dsa 0.011s ok crypto/ecdsa 0.088s ok crypto/elliptic 0.095s ok crypto/hmac 0.002s ok crypto/md5 0.004s ok crypto/rand 0.062s ok crypto/rc4 0.124s ok crypto/rsa 0.248s ok crypto/sha1 0.066s ok crypto/sha256 0.012s ok crypto/sha512 0.033s ok crypto/subtle 0.005s ok crypto/tls 1.113s ok crypto/x509 1.520s ok database/sql 0.593s ok database/sql/driver 0.002s ok debug/dwarf 0.028s ok debug/elf 0.042s ok debug/gosym 0.411s ok debug/macho 0.003s ok debug/pe 0.009s ok debug/plan9obj 0.002s ok encoding/ascii85 0.012s ok encoding/asn1 0.002s ok encoding/base32 0.016s ok encoding/base64 0.018s ok encoding/binary 0.004s ok encoding/csv 0.002s ok encoding/gob 0.084s ok encoding/hex 0.003s ok encoding/json 0.771s ok encoding/pem 0.036s ok encoding/xml 0.045s ok errors 0.048s ok expvar 0.030s ok flag 0.002s ok fmt 0.171s ok go/ast 0.003s ok go/build 0.235s ok go/constant 0.010s ok go/doc 0.110s ok go/format 0.008s ok go/internal/gccgoimporter 0.036s ok go/internal/gcimporter 0.624s ok go/internal/srcimporter 0.758s ok go/parser 0.040s ok go/printer 0.610s ok go/scanner 0.014s ok go/token 0.022s ok go/types 1.058s ok hash/adler32 0.006s ok hash/crc32 0.020s ok hash/crc64 0.010s ok hash/fnv 0.006s ok html 0.031s ok html/template 0.041s ok image 0.116s ok image/color 0.027s ok image/draw 0.058s ok image/gif 0.113s ok image/jpeg 0.281s ok image/png 0.051s ok index/suffixarray 0.011s ok internal/cpu 0.001s ok internal/poll 0.007s ok internal/singleflight 0.027s ok internal/trace 0.854s ok io 0.032s ok io/ioutil 0.011s ok log 0.030s ok log/syslog 1.213s ok math 0.024s ok math/big 2.820s ok math/bits 0.003s ok math/cmplx 0.009s ok math/rand 0.081s ok mime 0.006s ok mime/multipart 0.617s ok mime/quotedprintable 0.238s ok net 1.336s ok net/http 2.598s ok net/http/cgi 0.396s ok net/http/cookiejar 0.021s ok net/http/fcgi 0.042s ok net/http/httptest 0.050s ok net/http/httptrace 0.016s ok net/http/httputil 0.073s ok net/http/internal 0.032s ok net/internal/socktest 0.015s ok net/mail 0.027s ok net/rpc 0.013s ok net/rpc/jsonrpc 0.006s ok net/smtp 0.028s ok net/textproto 0.023s ok net/url 0.004s ok os 0.365s ok os/exec 0.600s ok os/signal 4.655s ok os/user 0.003s ok path 0.002s ok path/filepath 0.008s ok reflect 0.337s ok regexp 0.275s ok regexp/syntax 0.559s ok runtime 30.504s ok runtime/debug 0.015s ok runtime/internal/atomic 0.209s ok runtime/internal/sys 0.021s ok runtime/pprof 4.521s ok runtime/pprof/internal/profile 0.005s ok runtime/trace 3.251s ok sort 0.069s ok strconv 0.621s ok strings 0.212s ok sync 6.196s ok sync/atomic 0.387s ok syscall 2.301s ok testing 1.169s ok testing/quick 0.138s ok text/scanner 0.003s ok text/tabwriter 0.010s ok text/template 0.365s ok text/template/parse 0.031s ok time 2.615s ok unicode 0.002s ok unicode/utf16 0.002s ok unicode/utf8 0.004s ok vendor/golang_org/x/crypto/chacha20poly1305 0.181s ok vendor/golang_org/x/crypto/chacha20poly1305/internal/chacha20 0.001s ok vendor/golang_org/x/crypto/curve25519 0.030s ok vendor/golang_org/x/crypto/poly1305 0.007s ok vendor/golang_org/x/net/http2/hpack 0.004s ok vendor/golang_org/x/net/idna 0.006s ok vendor/golang_org/x/net/lex/httplex 0.012s ok vendor/golang_org/x/net/nettest 1.146s ok vendor/golang_org/x/net/proxy 0.004s ok vendor/golang_org/x/text/transform 0.001s ok vendor/golang_org/x/text/unicode/norm 0.023s ok cmd/addr2line 1.583s ok cmd/api 0.007s ok cmd/asm/internal/asm 0.265s ok cmd/asm/internal/lex 0.002s ok cmd/compile 12.023s ok cmd/compile/internal/gc 12.191s ok cmd/compile/internal/ssa 0.143s ok cmd/compile/internal/syntax 0.021s ok cmd/compile/internal/test 0.014s [no tests to run] ok cmd/compile/internal/types 0.020s ok cmd/cover 2.370s ok cmd/dist 0.025s ok cmd/doc 0.063s ok cmd/fix 0.072s --- FAIL: TestBuildmodePIE (1.46s) go_test.go:4375: running testgo [build -buildmode=pie -o /tmp/gotest561745736/main /tmp/gotest561745736/main.go] go_test.go:4375: standard error: go_test.go:4375: #
