commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=bc8e70a08ba083d978c828e31442a7645c9099d7
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Building host-go within docker fails:

error obtaining VCS status: exit status 128
	Use -buildvcs=false to disable VCS stamping.

Reproduction of the issue:

mkdir go-issue-61620
cd ./go-issue-61620
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.19.11.src.tar.gz
mkdir go-bootstrap
tar -xf go1.19.11.src.tar.gz -C ./go-bootstrap --strip-components=1
cd ./go-bootstrap/src/
bash make.bash
cd ../../
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.20.6.src.tar.gz
mkdir go
tar -xf go1.20.6.src.tar.gz -C ./go/ --strip-components=1
printf "gitdir: ../../does/not/exist/.git" > ./.git
cd ./go/src/
GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=$(pwd)/../../go-bootstrap/ bash make.bash

The error only occurs when the .git that git detects in the parent directory of
the GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP is invalid or not present causing errors when running `git`
commands within GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP.

+Subject: [PATCH] cmd/dist: set buildvcs=false when building go-bootstrap
+
+When building go-bootstrap as part of the make.bash process, the cmd/dist
+invokes the bootstrap Go compiler to build the go_bootstrap tool:
+
+${GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP}/bin/go install -tags=math_big_pure_go compiler_bootstrap purego bootstrap/cmd/...
+
+If there is an invalid .git directory in a parent of ${GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP},
+make.bash will fail. Reproduction of the issue:
+
+  mkdir go-issue-61620
+  cd ./go-issue-61620
+  wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.19.11.src.tar.gz
+  mkdir go-bootstrap
+  tar -xf go1.19.11.src.tar.gz -C ./go-bootstrap --strip-components=1
+  cd ./go-bootstrap/src/
+  bash make.bash
+  cd ../../
+  wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.20.6.src.tar.gz
+  mkdir go
+  tar -xf go1.20.6.src.tar.gz -C ./go/ --strip-components=1
+  printf "gitdir: ../../does/not/exist/.git" > ./.git
+  cd ./go/src/
+  GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=$(pwd)/../../go-bootstrap/ bash make.bash
+
+The build fails with the following error:
+
+  Building Go toolchain1 using [snip]/go-1.19.10.
+  error obtaining VCS status: exit status 128
+    Use -buildvcs=false to disable VCS stamping.
+  go tool dist: FAILED: [snip]/go-1.19.10/bin/go install -tags=math_big_pure_go \
+    compiler_bootstrap purego bootstrap/cmd/...: exit status 1
+
+This change unconditionally sets -buildvcs=false when compiling go-bootstrap. We
+don't need the revision information in those binaries anyway. Setting this flag
+was previously not done as we were unsure if the go-bootstrap compiler would be
+new enough to support the buildvcs build flag. Since Go 1.20.x, Go 1.19.x is the
+minimum version for go-bootstrap, and supports -buildvcs=false. We can now set
+-buildvcs=false without worrying about compatibility.
