[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files in /path/to/package

Add a stub file for the current OS/Architecture \(e.g., \`file\_other.go\` with \`//go:build \!linux\`\) or ensure \`CGO\_ENABLED=1\` is set if the files require CGO and it is disabled.

Journey Context:
A developer working on macOS clones a Linux-centric repository and attempts to build it. The command fails with 'build constraints exclude all Go files'. They inspect the directory and clearly see \`.go\` files. They try \`go clean -cache\` but it doesn't help. Looking closely at the filenames, they notice the files end in \`\_linux.go\`. Since the developer is on macOS \(darwin\), the Go build system ignores these files. Because the package has no files valid for \`darwin/amd64\`, it fails. They fix it by adding a stub file with the build constraint \`//go:build \!linux\` to provide a fallback implementation for non-Linux systems.
