Please see my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7679041 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7679041 In short, The Go linker can link with ELF shared objects just fine, just as it can link with PE-COFF shared objects, but it supports only the most basic of relocations in both cases (and this is a property of the design, as we can't expect the presence of the shared object because that would break cross-compilation), and it's not what you probably want anyway.
