#17950 Go v1.20 will not ship with prebuilt package archives for standard library Issue created by tdyas Go v1.20 will not ship with prebuilt package archives for standard library. This means that Pants will need to support compiling the standard library from source. From draft Go 1.20 release notes:

The directory $GOROOT/pkg no longer stores pre-compiled package archives for the standard library: go install no longer writes them, the go build no longer checks for them, and the Go distribution no longer ships them. Instead, packages in the standard library are built as needed and cached in the build cache, just like packages outside GOROOT. This change reduces the size of the Go distribution and also avoids C toolchain skew for packages that use cgo.
