small gotcha with Go ports

(sorry if this doesn't thread properly in the archives - I was not 
subscribed to the list until after the post I'm responding to was written):

I've been having problems with several go-based ports in recent days. 
Chris Torek recently posted a "small gotcha with Go ports message, and I 
tried one of his suggestions: I got rid of the "go" directory from 
DISTDIR. Everything started working. So, first, thanks, Chris!

Second, I wanted to note a couple things about my particular situation 
which may or may not be helpful in finding and/or fixing the underlying 
cause:

(1) I recently upgrade go from the then-latest version to the current 
latest (I think 1.23 to 1.24?).

(2) My make.conf has a line to set the DISTDIR to a non-default location.

Finally, links to the two Bugzilla reports I opened, in case anyone is 
interested in the specific errors I was getting or whatever:

security/step-certificates:

net/rclone (but this particular sort of bug was happening for several 
other ports too): https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289305
