Description Martin Böh 2022-03-01 19:49:59 UTC 
Hey,

running on 2022.02-rc2.

I tried adding a local go package inside my external tree using the following stripped down config.

Config.in (included correctly, showing up inside menuconfig)
```
config BR2_PACKAGE_APOGEE
	bool "apogee"
	depends on BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS
	help
	  my help string
```

.mk
```
APOGEE_SITE = $(BR2_EXTERNAL_MYTREE_PATH)/src/apogee
APOGEE_SITE_METHOD = local
APOGEE_BUILD_TARGETS = cmd/apogee
APOGEE_INSTALL_BINS = apogee
APOGEE_GOMOD = "<stripped>/apogee"
...
$(eval $(golang-package))
```

Whenever i try building this package i get:

```
/bin/sh: Line 1: /home/<censored>/Schreibtisch/<censored>/mytree/output/host/bin/go: File or directory not found
```

Building a different go package like tinifier seems to trigger the bootstrap build fine though.
Is this some limitation due to the "local" site source or due to the external tree im using?

Kind regards
Martin
