On Solaris you don't ship statically linked binaries. All Go binaries are linked with libc.so. In fact, amd64 Solaris doesn't even support statically linked binaries at all. It won't exec them. The situation is exactly the same as on Windows. Windows Go binaries are dynamically linked agains Windows standard libraries, and Go binaries use the shared libraries instead of doing system calls themselves.
