Thanks for reporting this problem.

As Ian said, one of the go library sources includes  <cpuid.h>, and then
expects to see an inline definition of that routine.

I poked around a little and it looks as though versions of clang prior to
5.0 do provide a definition of <cpuid.h>, but they don't
define __get_cpuid_count -- that seems to have been added later in this
commit
<https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/commit/723acf9205420108ade64c216de7ca30181c7877>
.

Do you have a later version of clang that you could use as your build
compiler (5.0 later)? Or could you use GCC instead? Either of these should
take care of this problem. In you cmake invocation you'll want to use

cmake ...
  -DCMAKE_ASM_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc \
  -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/g++ \
  -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc \

Or equivalent.

I will add a note to the FAQ on this, since others may also run into it.

Thanks, Than
