Comment (by jmon12):

 The ticket #68468 proposes a workaround for cloudflared. The idea is to
 install and use Go 1.20 during the build. Here is the diff of the Portfile
 I'm using:

      xinstall -d ${destroot}${prefix}/share/examples/${name}
 }}}

 However, I tried and for some unknown reason the Go version used is still
 the one on my system (1.21.6), even if the local installation of Go 1.20
 succeeded. I don't understand why: the `go.bin` variable has been set
 accordingly...

 Here is an extract of the verbose output. I also attach the diff portfile.
 I give up for now since I'm not familiar enough with macports internals
 and Go.
