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

Verify the target OS/Architecture matches the build constraints, or remove/modify the \`//go:build\` tags. Use \`GOOS=linux go build\` for cross-compilation.

Journey Context:
A developer is writing a package with platform-specific implementations. They create \`sys\_linux.go\` with the \`//go:build linux\` tag and \`sys\_windows.go\` with \`//go:build windows\`. When they run \`go build\` or \`go test\` on their macOS machine, they get 'build constraints exclude all Go files'. They might think the file is corrupted or the Go toolchain is broken, leading them to remove the package entirely. The debugging process reveals that the compiler is correctly excluding the files based on the OS constraints, but the package has no fallback implementation for macOS \(e.g., a \`sys\_darwin.go\` or a default \`sys\_other.go\`\). The fix is to either add an implementation for the current OS, add a default implementation using \`//go:build \!linux && \!windows\`, or cross-compile the build for the target OS using \`GOOS=linux go build\`.
