… strange cgo flags seen This patch changes the Go command to examine the set of compiler flags feeding into the C compiler when packages that use cgo are built. If any of a specific set of strange/dangerous flags are in use, then the Go command generates a token file ("preferlinkext") and embeds it into the compiled package's archive. When the Go linker reads the archives of the packages feeding into the link and detects a "preferlinkext" token, it will then use external linking for the program by default (although this default can be overridden with an explicit "-linkmode" flag). The intent here is to avoid having to teach the Go linker's host object reader to grok/understand the various odd symbols/sections/types that can result from boutique flag use, but rather to just boot the objects in question over to the C linker instead. Fixes #59050. Updates #58619. Updates #58620. Updates #58848.
