Ah, sorry. Presumably, we can't embed the some versions via ldflags option if we use go install.
So, this PR might not be necessary. Or, do we need to deal with the way to use go install ?

An alternative would be to make clusterctl not fail when the ld flags have not been set. Afaik they are only used for the version subcommand (which should be okay) and as post run to check for new versions.

I think it's prefer the way you propose. So I'd open the issue to discuss about it.


Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date:
```bash
clusterctl version

Did this work for you?

It didn't for me:

$ go install sigs.k8s.io/cluster-api/cmd/clusterctl@latest
go: downloading sigs.k8s.io/cluster-api v1.9.3

$ ~/code/bin/clusterctl version
clusterctl version: &version.Info{Major:"", Minor:"", GitVersion:"", GitCommit:"", GitTreeState:"", BuildDate:"", GoVersion:"go1.22.1", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/arm64"}
