Public bug reported: If you build go on a system with PIE enabled by default (currently only xenial/s390x) the build fails because go invokes gcc with -Wl,-r and ld complains about mixing -r and -pie. The fix is to pass -no-pie as well, but aggravatingly this flag is only supported on xenial: we can't just patch go to always pass it. This could be fixed in a xenial-only distro patch but I'd much rather fix it upstream so that people can just install go from source -- but I don't see how to do that.
