I think Go tries to reduce its dependence on libc but, by default, it will still link to it.

For instance, this code:

  package main
  import "net"
  func main(){
    net.Dial("tcp", "golang.org:80")
  }

When compiled with go build main.go does link:

  linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe3d7f0000) 
  libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fc7ac05a000)
  libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fc7abc69000)
  /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fc7ac279000)   

There are of course compiler options to truly statically compile.
