Under what circumstances is a Go build not reproducible? From what I’ve observed, if you build your binary with a set of input, the same binary is produced. Is it sometimes not true?

By default you need the same GOPATH and GOROOT.

Compiler version must be identical (not a huge stretch).

cgo reproducibility is not a guarantee.
