I think those .patch files are used. They are listed in input_files in the config files. There is no build file for those projects because they are using var/build_go_lib from projects/go/config, which includes:

    for p in $(ls -1 $rootdir/*.patch 2> /dev/null | sort)
    do
      patch -p1 < $p
    done

Although, I noticed that apparently we are not using the gomobile project anywhere, so we can probably remove it.

That's a good catch, thanks!

I was confused about the gomobile project as we seem to still use it if the creation in eee5d30a was correct. But I guess that's an oversight from your previous work we missed? If so, I can use #40323 (closed) to remove the gomobile patch and the whole project while we are at it.
