Support for golang 1.21? Golangc-lint 1.53.3 errors out when using the new slices package

[vamshiaruru32]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, etc.).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available (e.g., gocritic, go vet, etc.). (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

Hi everyone, apologies if this is already planned and I haven't seen the discussion, but I'd like to use the new go release candidate (1.21rc2). When I run golanngc-lint, I get the following error

golangci-lint run --fix -E exhaustruct,gci,makezero,govet
../../../../usr/local/go/src/slices/sort.go:67:7: undefined: min (typecheck)
                m = min(m, x[i])
                    ^
../../../../usr/local/go/src/slices/sort.go:96:7: undefined: max (typecheck)
                m = max(m, x[i])
                    ^
error: Recipe `lint` failed on line 27 with exit code 1

I have read from other discussions that typecheck can't be disabled. So is there a way to get around this? Or are there plans for support for 1.21 while it is still in RC state?

Thanks, any help is appreciated.
