            Bug ID: 64738
           Summary: go, gofmt and cgo binaries linked statically
           Product: gcc
           Version: 5.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: go
          Assignee: ian at airs dot com
          Reporter: jakub at gcc dot gnu.org

Is there any reason why these 3 tools are not linked against shared libgo.so.7
if it has been built and is being installed?

--- Comment #1 from Ian Lance Taylor <ian at airs dot com> ---
My concern was that for people building their own GCC, the tools won't work
without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I think I will make it a configure option.

I think they should be dynamic linked by default.

I see in gotools/Makefile.am:
AM_LDFLAGS = -L $(libgodir) -L $(libgodir)/.libs -static-libgo
but why has the -static-libgo flag been added is unclear (and, IMHO very much
undesirable).

Confirmed. -static-libgo indeed is undesirable.
