Problem executing Golang binaries

[0sm1les]

I am testing donut using a simple go program:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    fmt.Println("test")
    f, err := os.Create("test")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    n, err := f.WriteString("test")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    fmt.Println(n)
    f.Close()
}

expected behaviour: a named "test" is created containing the content "test".

what actually happens: powershell script hangs for a moment then exits.

additional information: windows defender is disabled

I would like to add that I'm using the latest donut version from master branch.

I have also tried recreating this example from a previous issue https://github.com/TheWover/donut/issues/9#issue-494343001 and does not seem to be working but works otherwise with rundll32.

I am thinking maybe its something wrong with my build environment? What information should I gather to help diagnose the problem.
