Hi Alex,

See: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=28265#16

I'm no expert on this, but the cause is recent breaking changes in the
binary interfaces.  The command you need is "make clean-go && make”.

If "make clean-go" is also fails, as it did for me, you'll need to
remove the .go files manually. You can use something like "find . -name
'*.go'" and if you're happy with those files, add a "-delete" argument
on the end.

Once cleaned, up do a full rebuild with "./bootstrap && make".

Regards,
Ben
