[go] mingw-w64-x86_64-go bad GOPATH default

[nerdralph]

# go version
go: cannot find GOROOT directory: D:\a\_temp\msys\msys64\mingw64\lib\go

work around:
export GOROOT=/mingw64/lib/go

I can't reproduce. Do you have a "D:" drive by any chance? maybe that triggers it.

See #7844 and #421

Yes, though @naveen521kk comments indicate this has been a long-running issue.

I can still reproduce this when not loading any profiles (aka from not bash)

PS C:\Users\cddeg> C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin\go.exe install -v golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports@latest
go: cannot find GOROOT directory: D:\a\msys64\ucrt64\lib\go

[1480c1]

Perhaps the three issues should be consolidated? It seems to stem primarily from the fact that the GOROOT's default value is hardcoded at buildtime rather than run-time, perhaps something similar to pkg-config's relocation could be done

I see someone else mentioned 421 and 7844 already, should two of them be closed as a duplicate similar to #665?
As I commented on 421 when I stumbled across it, the issue persists still even from a loaded profile
