Description

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.21rc2 windows/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Reproducible with 1.21rc2 but not reproducible with 1.20.5. I'm not sure how to download 1.21rc1 to test that.

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621

I had previously installed tdm-gcc 9.2.0 which causes the error:

What did you do?

Trying to run any tests with -race and gcc 9.2.0 ends up failing with exit status 0xc0000139.
https://go.dev/play/p/RFjBrSPywGg

> go.exe test ./... -v -race
exit status 0xc0000139
> go.exe test ./... -v
=== RUN   TestAdd
--- PASS: TestAdd (0.00s)
PASS

But upon upgrading to gcc 10.3.0:

> go.exe test ./... -v -race
=== RUN   TestAdd
--- PASS: TestAdd (0.00s)
PASS

What did you expect to see?

I expected for the race detector not to break between versions without something in the release notes pointing out an expectation of breakage. All I noticed in the release notes for 1.21 that might be related is:

On Windows AMD64, the linker (with help from the compiler) now emits SEH unwinding data by default, which improves the integration of Go applications with Windows debuggers and other tools.

But it's not obvious that this would require an upgraded gcc. It wasn't until after several hours of Googling and debugging that I ended up attempting to update gcc.

What did you see instead?

Instead I saw a bizarre exit status that led me down a deep rabbit hole on Google to try and figure out why my go tests suddenly don't work.
