Re: go package build problem: go: cannot find GOROOT directory: 'go' binary is trimmed and GOROOT is not set

The code that sets "trimpath", causing that behavior, is here:
https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/master:src/cmd/dist/build.go;l=1315;bpv=0;bpt=0

The default paths are removed when building a release, as opposed to
building inside a git checkout, to ensure reproducible binaries.

I added a patch and bumped the revision; try go121-1.21.5nb1 please!
