As of Go 1.23 (`winsymlink=1`), mount points no longer have [`os.ModeSymlink`](/pkg/os#ModeSymlink)
set, and reparse points that are not symlinks, Unix sockets, or dedup files now
always have [`os.ModeIrregular`](/pkg/os#ModeIrregular) set. As a result of these changes,
[`filepath.EvalSymlinks`](/pkg/path/filepath#EvalSymlinks) no longer evaluates
mount points, which was a source of many inconsistencies and bugs.

Previously, large builds could see 100%+ build time increase from enabling PGO.
In Go 1.23, overhead should be in the single digit percentages.

### Go command {#go-command}

Setting the `GOROOT_FINAL` environment variable no longer has an effect
([#62047](https://go.dev/issue/62047)).
Distributions that install the `go` command to a location other than
`$GOROOT/bin/go` should install a symlink instead of relocating
or copying the `go` binary.

The `go vet` subcommand now includes the
