cmd/go: go1.11 does not work on Alpine Linux

[michilu]

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

go version go1.11 linux/amd64
(This is my handprint, the reason is below.)

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes. Installed by go get golang.org/dl/go1.11.

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

go1.11: It was silently done with status 1.
go1.10.3:

GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCACHE="/root/.cache/go-build"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"

GOTMPDIR=""
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
GCCGO="gccgo"

CGO_CFLAGS="-g -O2"
CGO_CPPFLAGS=""
CGO_CXXFLAGS="-g -O2"

What did you do?

docker run --rm -it --cap-add sys_ptrace golang:1.10.3-alpine3.8

Then in the Docker container:

apk add --update git strace
go get -v golang.org/dl/go1.11 && go1.11 download
...

What did you expect to see?

go1.11 version
go version go1.11 linux/amd64

What did you see instead?

go1.11 version
echo $?
1

It was silently done with status 1.

I submit the results of strace go1.11 version.

I seem to like the futex call is never return.

futex(0x810448, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL)    = 0

The official Go binaries are known to not work on Alpine because we assume glibc. That is #18773 and #19938.

Are you saying that the Go binary from go get golang.org/dl/go1.10.3 but not from go get golang.org/dl/go1.11? Or did you get your go1.10.3 from somewhere else? (e.g. from Alpine apk)

[michilu]

The go1.10.3 was already installed from Alpine apk.

OK. I understood Golang needs the glibc for itself.
So could not install by go get.

Thanks!
