  Go 1.10 adds a "misc" directory to the distribution.  This directory
  must exist in $GOROOT.  Among other things, "misc" is required to
  serve the HTTP UI of `go tool trace`.  There should be a symlink such
  that /usr/lib/go-1.10/misc -> /usr/share/go-1.10/misc.  Without this
  symlink, `go tool trace` will serve 404 errors.

  To reproduce, try using `go tool trace -http`.  Your browser will get
  a 404 error if you view the trace.  To resolve, add the symlink.
