I just tried master and all builds fine so it seems you have some issues with your local env.

this doesn't look like a normal path
_/home/USER/remote_storage_adapter
should be something like
$GOPATH/src/github.com/prometheus/prometheus/documentation/examples/remote_storage/remote_storage_adapter

closing now , but feel free to reopen if you are sure this is not a local env issue.

Just for the record, this issue was actually a duplicate of #3591.

As @tzz pointed out, the Remote storage adapter can be compiled by executing:

go build github.com/prometheus/prometheus/documentation/examples/remote_storage/remote_storage_adapter
