Hi Edison Ibáñez if you see this,
I am unsure if my reply on debuggs was sent, i am yet to get a email 
address that supports git send-email,
It seems that go embed does not support symlinks and in the kitty build 
dir, "/src/github.com/alecthomas/chroma/v2/**" the embed-ed files are 
symlinks to the chroma store directory.

https://pkg.go.dev/embed
"Patterns must not match files outside the package's module, such as 
‘.git/*’ or symbolic links. Patterns must not match files whose names 
include the special punctuation characters " * < > ? ` ' | / \ and :. 
Matches for empty directories are ignored. After that, each pattern in a 
//go:embed line must match at least one file or non-empty directory. "

I was just looking at what is the process which creates the link, it is 
possibly line 232 ( in my checkout) of guix/build/go-build-system
```
   (let ((dest (string-append (getenv "GOPATH") "/src/" unpack-path)))
     (mkdir-p dest)
     (if (file-is-directory? source)
         (copy-recursively source dest #:keep-mtime? #t)
         (unpack-maybe-strip source dest)))

```
there is not a symlink function call, i think build systems are 
inherited so maybe it is in a containing build system.

Im going out now but this seems to be the cause of the failure.

Also if anyone sees this and has an invite to riseup email service ( 
should the service be capable of handling another stranger) then please 
may i have a invite?, google sux
Thanks!
