 Replying to [comment:31 eighthave]:
 > I renamed `package main` to `package snowflakeclient` since ''gomobile''
 didn't want to work with the ''main'' package.  That's a hack we've used
 in all the Go PTs in Orbot.  I guess it is causing trouble here, is there
 some special meaning to `package main`?

 I'm looking at this
 [https://github.com/golang/mobile/blob/master/example/basic/main.go
 gomobile sample application] and it uses `package main`, so I guess the
 renaming is necessary because of something in Orbot. But that seems
 unrelated to any error message you've posted.

 Yes, [https://golang.org/ref/spec#Program_execution main has special
 meaning], it's the package that gets run when you execute the program.
 Changing the package of sub-programs from `main` makes sense when you want
 to combine them into one meta-program, which you may be doing to avoid
 having duplicate copies of the runtime, like in #13770.
