The linker now disallows using a `//go:linkname` directive to refer to
internal symbols in the standard library (including the runtime) that
are not marked with `//go:linkname` on their definitions.
Similarly, the linker disallows references to such symbols from assembly
code.

# Issue 52863.

# We manually create a .syso and a .a file in package a,
# such that the .syso file only works when linked against the .a file.
# Package a has #cgo LDFLAGS to make this happen.
#
# Package c imports package a, and uses cgo itself.
# The generation of the _cgo_import.go for package c will fail,
# because it won't know that it has to link against a/libb.a
# (because we don't gather the #cgo LDFLAGS from all transitively
# imported packages).

// command? See issue #64947 for more detail, but the short answer is
// that newer versions of the Macos toolchain (the newer linker in
// particular) appear to compute the UUID based not just on the
// content of the object files being linked but also on things like
// the timestamps/paths of the objects; this makes it
// difficult/impossible to support reproducible builds. Since we try

the host linker. The default value for the host linker is $CC, split
into fields, or else "gcc". The specific host linker command line can
be overridden using command line flags: cmd/link -extld=clang
-extldflags='-ggdb -O3'. If any package in a build includes a .cc or
other file compiled by the C++ compiler, the go tool will use the
-extld option to set the host linker to the C++ compiler.
