Solution 1:[1]

You should run brew update first, then run brew upgrade to upgrade all software installed by brew. Also you can run brew upgrade go to upgrade go only.

Solution 2:[2]

Try running

brew update
brew upgrade

brew install go --cross-compile-common

brew upgrade might upgrade go alone without having to try to install it, after you run brew update/upgrade try running go version and see which version you have.

Solution 3:[3]

brew update may warn you about multiple outdated libraries, so:

if you want to check ALL outdated libraries:

brew update
brew outdated

To upgrade a SINGLE library (like go in this case):

brew update
brew upgrade go

To upgrade ALL libraries:

brew update
brew upgrade
