Editor and settings

None. Initially attempted the installation through VSCode but failed, afterward I tried to run the command directly from terminal and it gave the same error output.

This looks like an issue with cmd/link not gopls, so I am updating the title accordingly.

What version of Go do you use? I saw GOVERSION="go1.18" but I cannot reproduce it with go1.18.

Maybe try clean your cache (go clean -cache, go clean -modcache) in case some cached file is corrupted?

[stevenwjy]

Ah yeah, sorry it seems like some of my cached files were somehow corrupted. Managed to resolve this with go clean -cache and go clean -modcache. Thanks!
