Building android-go "stdlib.h: No such file or directory"

Question

I'm trying to build an android-go example in ubuntu 16 using ../build-android.sh but I get an error,

# runtime/cgo
_cgo_export.c:2:20: fatal error: stdlib.h: No such file or directory
 #include <stdlib.h>
                    ^

https://github.com/xlab/android-go/tree/master/examples/minimal

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've already double checked lib6c header libraries.

The full build log is

Did you install the build-essential package? As I have read, the lib is sometimes not installed properly. So a reinstall could help.

Please try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
