ginkgo: Error after upgrading to Go 1.8

I recently upgraded my Go package to the 1.8 version. Ginkgo works all fine with Go 1.7. But after upgrading, I get the following error information if I run ginkgo -r -cover

go install math: open /usr/local/go/pkg/linux_amd64/math.a: permission denied

The error only happens if I enable -cover. Also go test -cover ./... works fine without any problem. I wonder if there is anything wrong with my setup?

The same error occurs if the tests are run with the --race flag. Example:

$ ginkgo --race

go test -race works as expected. Any chance it is related to https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19151?
