Please mention what it is exactly that you did. We need the repro steps or a sample code that we can use to reproduce the issue ourselves.

Given the hello.go from #31293 on a CentOS6 system using go-1.12.2:

[agnivade]

So then this is a duplicate of #31293 ?

Your error seems to be slightly different than OP's though. In any case, I am unable to reproduce this in Ubuntu 18.04.

[aronatkins]

@agnivade - Both the OP and my errors are from "el6" - ELPA packages for RHEL/CentOS 6. Maybe the slightly different output is caused by "2.20.51.0.2-5.42.el6 20100205" vs "2.20.51.0.2-5.48.el6_10.1 20100205" patches? The reported lineno and function are the same. Maybe the OP left out one line because it had nonascii characters?

I cannot say if this is a complete duplicate of #31293. Feels connected, though.

Here is a Dockerfile that reproduces the problem:

FROM centos:centos6.10

RUN yum -y install gcc

ENV GOLANG_VERSION 1.12.2
ENV GOLANG_DOWNLOAD_SHA256 f28c1fde8f293cc5c83ae8de76373cf76ae9306909564f54e0edcf140ce8fe3f
RUN curl -fsSL "https://golang.org/dl/go${GOLANG_VERSION}.linux-amd64.tar.gz" -o golang.tar.gz \
    && echo "$GOLANG_DOWNLOAD_SHA256  golang.tar.gz" | sha256sum -c - \
    && tar -C /usr/local -xzf golang.tar.gz \
    && rm golang.tar.gz
ENV PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin"

COPY hello.go hello.go

RUN go build hello.go

It expects the following hello.go (from #31293):

package main

// const int x = 42;
import "C"

import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Println(int(C.x))
}

Given a directory containing this Dockerfile and hello.go:

$ docker build -t foo .
....
# command-line-arguments
/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/link: running gcc failed: exit status 1
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/go-link-843872773/000005.o(.text+0x74): unresolvable H��@�>H��FH��H��H��@�~�F�H��@�~H��8�H��H��0�FH��H��(�FH��H�� �FH��H���FH��H���FH��H��F�fD relocation against symbol `stderr@@GLIBC_2.2.5'

/usr/bin/ld: Please report this bug.

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The command '/bin/sh -c go build hello.go' returned a non-zero code: 2

I'm confident that this is a dup of #31293, so closing.

[vansnyder]

Nice that it's closed, but... what's the work around? I'm not allowed to have the root password. Eliminating -static seems to work, but what if I need a static executable?

[vansnyder]

Removing -static works around the BFD error. I can get a static executable using -Bstatic. "man ld" says they're the same. Huh?

[ianlancetaylor]

@vansnyder Which version of Go are you using? See #31293 for more details.

The problem is in ld. I'm not using Go. I found that -static caused the problem, but I can get a static build using -Bstatic. The "man" page says they're equivalent. Huh?

@vansnyder This is the Go issue tracker, so if you aren't using Go, you are in the wrong place.
