[go-nuts] `exec: "gcc": executable file not found in $PATH` when compiling as a module

Compiling this little program:

package main


import (
        "fmt"
        "net/http"
)


func main() {
        x, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://google.com";, nil)
        fmt.Println(x)
}

in the GOPATH works fine.

But if it is compiled as a Go 1.11 module outside the GOPATH, the error:

exec: "gcc": executable file not found in $PATH

is returned. 

I know I can `CGO_ENABLED=0 go build`. I'm more curious why 'mod-ing' this 
package causes the change in behavior.  

Thanks all.
