For now, the gomobile needs to be checked out under GOPATH and built in GOPATH mode.
Maybe we can now stop doing that and move to use the runtime/debug.ReadBuildInfo or go version -m.

Can you clarify what it means to "build in GOPATH mode"? What is this alternate build method from the standard instructions of go getting the package.

Well, for me, the following worked, so maybe this what was meant for how to build. Just go get the gomobile package from any directory without a go.mod file.

When I did it inside a directory with go.mod, the source code wasn't copied to $GOPATH src tree, and the binary seems to be functioning improperly.
