This was originally reported in issue #4829. I posted a comment on it, but as it has
been marked fixed, I don't know if that is monitored. If it is, please by all means
close this issue as a duplicate and accept my apology.

When trying to get packages that depend on cgo, I get the error "argument unused
during compilation: '-fno-eliminate-unused-debug-types'":

$ go get bazil.org/fuse
# bazil.org/fuse
clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-fno-eliminate-unused-debug-types'

$ go version

Comment 1:

Does anything change if you set the environment variable CC=clang before running "go
get"?

Labels changed: added priority-soon, go1.2maybe, removed priority-triage.

Comment 2 by prencher:

Just tried it - That indeeds works without issue.
It would appear it by default tries to use the clang derived gcc on the system. I have
no $CC variable set normally, so perhaps a change in the default compiler used by cgo on
OS X is in order?

Comment 3:

We've changed the default compiler to clang on OS X 10.8.  We have kept it as gcc on OS
X 10.6.  In fact, that difference is the main reason we are building different binary
releases for 10.6 and 10.8.
What version of OS X are you using?

Comment 4 by prencher:

I am using OS X 10.8.5, and I can confirm the issue is fixed.
The issue was caused by homebrew not applying the proper flags for the build it does
when installed 1.2rc1, and when I installed the 10.8 release binary I goofed on the path.
Sorry for the false alarm.

Comment 5:

Please raise a bug on the homebrew project. Their Go recipe is generating too many
support requests.

Status changed to Retracted.
