Expected Behavior

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)

go get -u github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/...
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia
make release-std

Environment

• Sia version: 1.3.0 currently, trying to build latest master (62ef2aa)
• OS: Arch Linux.

$ echo $GOPATH
/home/dino/go
$ uname -r
4.14.4-1-ARCH
$ go version
go version go1.9.2 linux/amd64

Oh....

$ ls -sla /usr/lib/go/pkg/linux_amd64/runtime/internal/sys.a
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5830 Oct 30 15:58 /usr/lib/go/pkg/linux_amd64/runtime/internal/sys.a

Should this be ran as root or should those files in /usr/lib/go/pkg have more open permissions?

I've seen this issue before, I believe it's related to your Go environment and not Sia directly.

Googling around I've found it reported with a couple different projects.
golang/go#15433
golang/go#18981

I'm going to close this issue as it's not caused by Sia, but if you find a good solution please comment with it here!
