go needs libstdc++

[mattmoor]

I'm getting increasing reports of this lib missing from folks using go_image (example).

Luckily rules_go now supports pure = "on", but we should get the base image fixed for the default case.

Assigning to @dlorenc to triage.

I'm using the base image and getting the same error referenced. Is this being worked on, and what is a temporary work-around on the client-side? Thanks!

The cc image does have libstdc++ and I was able to switch my base to distroless/cc and it "worked for me".

I'm not using the go_image task (I use container_image directly), but go_image does have a base field which might work.

Okay, I need some opinions here. If I'm reading things right, by design neither base nor static should include a bunch of shared libraries. And since there is a work around for projects needing that library using distroless/cc I'm thinking we should close this won't fix.

Three years later, the problem persists.

@loosebazooka could you kindly provide information why this issue was closed? Has it been fixed?

[loosebazooka]

Just bug bankruptcy. I will reopen since it appears people are interested in it.

[loosebazooka]

okay so there are solutions for this that make sense. If you're using go_image, update the base to use distroless/cc.
