Simple Go binaries do tend to be statically linked, which is where I think the confusion comes from. The most common source of dynamic linking is cgo, since CGO_ENABLED=1 is the default when not cross-compiling. For example, importing os/user will dynamically link against libc, unless you disable cgo or force statically linking with libc. See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/26492 for more details. I think the purpose of the flag will be to force static linking in all edge cases, while not disabling cgo explicitly. |
