In the following patch, you said "Additionally, the top level build directory cannot be named 'go-something'."

Can you help to explain why it cannot be named 'go-something'?  "go-build-tmp" works well in my env.  if it cannot be named

as "go-something",  how about "gobuild-tmp"?

This was 4 years ago and honestly I don't remember anything about the
patch, other than it was a pain to find the particular settings that
work. You can probably set up a yocto build from the revision just
before the patch and apply parts of it to see why 'go-something'
didn't work at that point.

We should be careful with further tweaks.

Understand,  thanks.  I tried with kirkstone branch,  and set GOTMPDIR to go-tmp,  then bitbake buildah,  build successfully.

But maybe I should set it to "tmp-go-build"  to avoid possible regression.
