I would really like to see go binaries that is not like a 1mb in size.

In practice is not like I don't have space for 1MB

But I still want proper linking to a shared "golib"

Binary sizes are a concern, particularly with a move to mobile devices and later embedded systems.

However for Go's current platforms, I would call it a non-issue. Static builds, something seemingly long forgotten though supported in other compiled languages, make deployment and distribution that bit easier.

I would support static builds by default, optional dynamic builds.

Only Go developers install the Go toolchain, so there's very little chance that your executable will work where you intend it to.
