Sorry for the inline headers. This gives me some space to speak about the changes related to Windows.
go 1.19 introduces a netgo flag for windows that bypasses Window's resolver for a go resolver. This prevents Prometheus to use Windows' /etc/host equivalent, which means that localhost can't be resolved. Prometheus 2.40 contains this issue and we will not build prometheus with netgo on windows to revert to the old behavior.
