Report #8598

[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files in ...

Ensure the file suffixes match the target OS/Architecture \(e.g., \`\_linux.go\` for Linux\), or enable CGO if the constraint is \`// \+build cgo\` and CGO is disabled.

Journey Context:
A developer is building a Go application locally on macOS that uses a package with files named \`syscall\_linux.go\`. They run \`go build\` and get an error that build constraints exclude all Go files in that package. They might think the package is empty or broken, searching for missing source files. Another common variant is a package requiring CGO \(\`// \+build cgo\`\) but \`CGO\_ENABLED=0\` is set. The root cause is that the Go build system filters files based on filename suffixes and build tags before compilation. If no files match the current environment, the package is considered missing. The fix works by either cross-compiling for the correct target \(\`GOOS=linux go build\`\) or enabling the required build constraint \(e.g., \`CGO\_ENABLED=1\`\).
