The go command and any other Go-aware build systems invoke cmd/link
to link a collection of packages into a single binary. By default, cmd/link will
present the same interface it does today:

	cmd/link main.a

produces a file named a.out, even if cmd/link does so by invoking the host
linker in external linking mode.

By default, cmd/link will decide the linking mode as follows: if the only

// The value returned is the logical OR of multiple possible formats.
// If the value is FormatUnknown, then the input Header cannot be encoded
// and an error is returned explaining why.
//
// As a by-product of checking the fields, this function returns paxHdrs, which
// contain all fields that could not be directly encoded.
// A value receiver ensures that this method does not mutate the source Header.

Go 1.22 added the [Alias type](/pkg/go/types#Alias) to [go/types](/pkg/go/types)
for the explicit representation of [type aliases](/ref/spec#Type_declarations).
Whether the type checker produces `Alias` types or not is controlled by the
[`gotypesalias` setting](/pkg/go/types#Alias).
For Go 1.22 it defaults to `gotypesalias=0`.
For Go 1.23, `gotypesalias=1` will become the default.
