Using the same methods I've been using to compile Beats for Pi since v6, I can no longer compile beats.
GOARCH=arm
GOOS=linux
GO v1.13.10
I clone the repo, checkout the commit for the release (5e69e25), cd to the beat I want (eg. metricbeat) and then make.

On my macbook where I have Go and Docker, I use this to build for armv7.
```auto
# Make sure $GOPATH/bin is on PATH
export PATH=$PATH:"$(go env GOPATH)"
cd metricbeat
git checkout v7.7.0
make mage
PLATFORMS='+all linux/armv7' mage -v package
```
The packages are in build/distributions. I install the .deb on my rpi.
```auto
ls -la build/distributions/
total 146968

Thanks! That at least got me started in the right direction i.e. forget trying to keep compiling these things on a Pi 4 and instead just cross-compile on my Mac.
```auto
GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm make
```
Works fine for everything except Packetbeat:
```auto
go build -ldflags "-X github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/version.buildTime=2020-05-19T20:13:05Z -X github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/version.commit=d57bcf8684602e15000d65b75afcd110e2b12b59"
sniffer/afpacket_linux.go:26:2: build constraints exclude all Go files in .../src/github.com/elastic/beats/vendor/github.com/tsg/gopacket/afpacket
make: *** [packetbeat] Error 1
```
