What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version devel +28c6648 Wed Feb 25 18:29:42 2015 +0000 darwin/amd64

What operating system and processor architecture are you using?

10.9.5 and 10.10.2

What did you do?

tried to compile the following program:

package main

/*
#include <mach/mach_init.h>
#include <mach/vm_map.h>
*/
import "C"

func main() {
    _ = C.vm_map_t(C.mach_task_self_)
    return
}

What did you expect to see?

$ go version
go version go1.4.1 darwin/amd64
$ go build t.go 
$

What did you see instead?

$ go build t.go
# command-line-arguments
ld: illegal text-relocation to '_mach_task_self_' in /usr/lib/libpthread.dylib from 'main.init' in /var/folders/cm/8q66dvl126x4fjzgs10bxjyc0000gn/T//go-link-SKg1kT/go.o for architecture x86_64

i can confirm that -linkmode internal works for me too.

I'm not sure what are you trying to suggest. The mach_task_self_ is a simple environment variable which is prepared by mach_init, and your program doesn't use cgo stuff. Can you please elaborate on your issue? Are you trying to say that the current linker selection of cmd/cgo (see cmd/cgo/doc.go) has some issue?

I don't know how much more black and white this issue can be: an existing piece of code that used to link fine under 1.4.* does not link at tip. the code is from a real world library which is being used currently:

https://github.com/jondot/gosigar/blob/master/sigar_darwin.go#L129

with '-linkmode internal' the linking is successful in both the test case and the original program that exhibited the issue.

the latest linker has stopped linking successfully with the -linkmode internal flag:
