Is anyone else having issues building auditbeat in the 6.6 or 6.7 branch? Here is an example of building auditbeat in the 6.6 branch. I do not see this issue in the 7.0 branch.

```auto
# git branch
* 6.6
  6.7
  7.0
  master

# mage -v build
Running target: Build
>> build: Building auditbeat
exec: git rev-parse HEAD

Hi @mikemadden42,

Welcome!

I'm able to reproduce this locally on my Mac OS X laptop with the `6.7` branch as well. Incidentally, the issue does not occur on the `7.0`, `7.x`, or `master` branches.

I'll post any more information if/when I have it.

Cheers,

Shaunak

The `6.7` branch uses golang version 1.10.8 (see [https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/6.7/.go-version](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/6.7/.go-version)). If you try to build with that, it should succeed. It did on mine:

```auto
auditbeat [6.7] $ go version
go version go1.10.8 darwin/amd64

```

```auto
auditbeat [6.7] $ mage build
>> build: Building auditbeat

```

Hi @shaunak, thanks for the information. You made a great observation that go 1.10.8 was used to build the 6.7 branch. I'll try building with with go 1.10.8.

I've confirmed that I can build the 6.7 branch in a docker container with go 1.10.8. Thanks @shaunak for your help.
