Yocto Fails to Cross-Compile GoLang Wails Application

I am using Yocto Kirkstone to build a system for an ARMv7 custom embedded Linux board. I have go-runtime version 1.20 in my Yocto meta layers.

I am trying to build a simple example GoLang 'wails' (https://github.com/wailsapp/wails) application that I am able to build on my Mac for my target. This requires the wails 'cli' to be installed to build the application. I'm not sure how to cross-compile this app with Yocto. How can I accomplish this? Thanks.

This command fails in do_compile():

wails build .

The error I am getting is shown here:
