1) Was this static C library? Then you need to recompile. If it was dynamic then the question is did abi change? If yes, you need to recompile, otherwise you don't (but security updates usually don't break abi). 2) Always. 3) Yes, Go runtime is linked in to executables build with Go.

Does Go include external libraries (stuff not written in Go) as dynamic links or static?

  It's up to you to decide how/what you want to link, just like in C. I've prepared simple example at https://github.com/tumdum/go_libs https://github.com/tumdum/go_libs that you can use to see how exactly it's all working.
