Hi! I installed Go via sources

$ go version

go version devel +9c91cab0da Tue Dec 8 01:46:45 2020 +0000 darwin/arm64

got better performance than I had with my aging Core i5 4670k, etc, this was expectable, no surprises here.

But, there's an issue. When I call `go get`, `go install`, etc via `exec.Command` I get this error:

self check: update pedro-miguel: run go get gitlab.stageoffice.ru/UCS-TOOLS/pedro-miguel: fork/exec /usr/local/go/bin/go: operation not permitted

What may cause this? Launching other utilities works fine:

package main

import (
"os"
  "os/exec"
)

func main() {
  cmd := exec.Command("echo", "hello!")
  cmd.Stdout = os.Stdout
  if err := cmd.Run(); err != nil {
      panic(err)

}
}

PS pedro-miguel named after a cascade of locks in Panama channel.

Found what causes this. An extended Apple attribute apple.com.quarantine. Set it off, then need to set off some other utilities and now it is done.
