+- Drop "go clean" from the upstream build script: since we build in
+  clean environments, we don't have caches. Additionally, the way
+  it is used does not even work and reports:
+    go: clean -cache cannot be used with package arguments
+  The error was masked until GO 1.23, as the test wether go
+  supported caching was checking for go 1.23 formatted output.
