What version of Go are you using (go version)?

go version go1.11.6 linux/arm

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes. I tired building go1.13.10

bootstrap versions tried go1.11.6 and go-1.7

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

cd go/src
./all.bash

What did you expect to see?

Build success as usual (on Pi 4s this always builds fine).

What did you see instead?

~/src/go/src $ ./all.bash

The bug title and your go env output suggest that you are building for linux/arm, but the output is for a build of linux/arm64. The error looks like you are cross-compiling, but that you are using a native compiler rather than a cross-compiler.

Why does the all.bash output say Building packages and commands for linux/arm64. ?

I'm not familiar with go code base, all.bash is part of that.

I tried export GOARCH=arm and got the same error.

Building Go cmd/dist using /usr/lib/go-1.11. (go1.11.6 linux/arm)

says "arm"

while:

Building packages and commands for host, linux/arm64.

says "arm64"

btw, I'm running a 32 bit OS (Rasbian) on 64 bit hardware

It sounds like the Go build process is misunderstanding your system. I think you may need to set both GOHOSTARCH=arm and GOARCH=arm when running all.bash.

I have the same question when build arm64

This was probably caused by incorrect env variables and there hasn't been any update for about a year, I think we can close.
