I don't think this should succeed:

~/go/bin/go build -ldflags=a=b hello.go  && ./hello
hi

I haven't checked the code, but from strace it looks like go build is swallowing ldflags that don't start with a -.

The syntax -ldflags=a=b means "pass b to all packages that match the pattern a". If there are no packages that match the pattern a, then the flag will never be passed.

Oh. That makes sense, I just didn't even consider that that syntax would apply to ldflags. I'm not sure what good it is, but it's not a bug. Thanks.

cmd/link: fix test flag 
Doesn't cause an error, see #25085.
But we should fix it nonetheless.
