[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files

Enable CGO by setting \`CGO\_ENABLED=1\` and ensure a C compiler \(like \`gcc\` or \`musl-gcc\`\) is installed in the build environment, or avoid the dependency that requires CGO. Root cause: The package uses \`import "C"\` \(cgo\), which is automatically excluded by the Go compiler when CGO\_ENABLED=0 or when cross-compiling without a suitable C compiler.

Journey Context:
A developer builds a Go application locally on macOS and it compiles successfully. They push the code, and the CI pipeline using a minimal Docker alpine image fails with 'build constraints exclude all Go files'. They are baffled because the files exist in the Git repository. They check the file names for OS/architecture suffixes \(like \_linux.go\), which are correct. They dig into the failing package's source code and find \`import "C"\` at the top of the file. They realize that \`import "C"\` triggers cgo, and the Go toolchain automatically excludes cgo files if CGO\_ENABLED=0 \(common in static build environments\) or if gcc is missing. They add CGO\_ENABLED=1 to their CI environment variables and install build-base \(Alpine's gcc package\), which allows the compiler to process the cgo files.
