What did you do?

Try to cross compile the plugin by setting GOOS=linux (darwin)

package main

import "fmt"

func F() { fmt.Println("Hello World!") }

func main() {}

What did you expect to see?

plugin being build

What did you see instead?

Darwin:

$ GOOS=linux go build -buildmode=plugin plugin.go
# command-line-arguments

ld: unknown option: -z
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Linux:

Should the go tool emit a more helpful error message after the existing failure messages?

Or is there missing documentation?

Better error handling is covered by #16395, any solution to that will work here.

There are two potential feature requests here, the first is internal linking of plugins which don't use cgo when GOOS=linux, the second is the same for GOOS=darwin.

Let's turn this issue into a feature request for GOOS=linux, -buildmode=plugin internal linking. It's not a priority for me, but it's an entirely reasonable feature request.

@urso if you want, you can file a separate bug for GOOS=darwin, -buildmode=plugin internal linking.
