# Upstream ships six Go binaries. Previous ebuild only built the
# ssm-agent-worker (labeled `./agent`) and installed it as
# `amazon-ssm-agent`, which caused the real launcher's `-version` flag
# to be unrecognized and the agent to die immediately on startup with
# `failed to find agent identity` because the worker was trying to
# bootstrap itself as if it were the top-level agent process.
#
# See upstream makefile `build-any-%` target — the binaries and their
# source paths match this list exactly.
