Build tries to alter system files

[TheMeier]

When I run make i get the following error:

go build net: open /usr/lib/golang/pkg/linux_amd64/net.a: permission denied
!! command failed: build -o /home/myuser/go/src/github.com/BonnierNews/logstash_exporter/logstash_exporter -ldflags -s -X github.com/BonnierNews/logstash_exporter/vendor/github.com/prometheus/common/version.Version=0.1.2 -X github.com/BonnierNews/logstash_exporter/vendor/github.com/prometheus/common/version.Revision=d0391964df9c3ba49a605c0c7d98399b0e54e586 -X github.com/BonnierNews/logstash_exporter/vendor/github.com/prometheus/common/version.Branch=master -X github.com/BonnierNews/logstash_exporter/vendor/github.com/prometheus/common/version.BuildUser=myuser@myhost -X github.com/BonnierNews/logstash_exporter/vendor/github.com/prometheus/common/version.BuildDate=20180704-06:42:50  -extldflags '-static' -i -tags 'netgo static_build' github.com/BonnierNews/logstash_exporter: exit status 1

The build should not try to write to anywhere outside the build-environment

This isn't (wasn't) a problem with logstash_exporter, rather with Go and/or your environment. Changes to Go (I believe) should have helped some of these issues (see: golang/go#18981), but the short of it is, it was likely because where you installed Go from, it didn't have all of the standard library pre-compiled (this is a common problem when you install from brew, debian/ubuntu package managers, etc).
