HI there,

On my computer running "make geth" fails on ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

System information
Geth version: geth version Iris (v1.12.11)
OS & Version: 18.04
Go version 1.20.1 ubuntu/amd64
Make verision 4.1
Commit hash : f5a9595

Expected behaviour
"make geth" or "make all" should work

Actual behaviour
Error

Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Install Go (version windows/amd64) and Make (version 4.4)
cd to /core-geth
run "make geth" fails with errors:

env GO111MODULE=on go run build/ci.go install ./cmd/geth

Suggests that you may in fact not be on "Go version 1.20.1 ubuntu/amd64", rather on Go 1.17. Can you verify?
