Verified Solution[golang/go] crypto/internal/fips140test:exe_external: unrecognized failures

### ROOT CAUSE
The issue is caused by an internal compiler error (ICE) in the Go compiler when processing a function with a complex type parameter. The specific error involves a "bad live variable" at the entry of `slices.pdqsortCmpFunc` with a struct type parameter containing a slice. This is a known limitation or bug in the Go compiler's liveness analysis when dealing with complex type parameters, especially those involving nested structs and slices.
### CODE FIX
To resolve this issue, update the Go version to the latest stable release, as the bug might have been fixed in a newer version. Alternatively, if the issue persists, refactor the test or the code being tested to avoid using the problematic function with such complex type parameters. If the issue is in the Go compiler, report it to the Go team and wait for a fix.
```plaintext
# Update Go version to the latest stable release
# Example: Download and install the latest Go from https://golang.org/dl/
# If the issue persists, refactor the code in crypto/internal/fips140test to use simpler types or functions.
# For example, avoid using complex struct types in type parameters where possible.
