See fsnotify/fsevents#33

Note that I'm not the original reporter, but I thought I should raise this just in case.

This is unfortunate but intentional. See https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.10#cgo. Closing. Please comment if you disagree.

So what is the solution to get running Go in Mac OS X Mojave?

You need to convert nil to 0 in the affected places.
There's a gofix module which should do the work for you.

go tool fix -r cftype <pkg>

Thank you for your answer, but it doesn't work for me. The issue here occurs even if I exec the following:

➜  cells git:(master) go tool fix -r cftype ./

Then you will need to fix those 3 lines by hand.
Just replace nil with 0 at the locations reported by those errors.
