Description
The latest docker-go-mingw image (using LLVM 21.1.0-rc3) fails to build Go applications with CGO for Windows ARM64 targets.
Error
cgo: cannot parse $WORK/b826/cgo.o as ELF, Mach-O, PE or XCOFF
Root Cause
Regression introduced in LLVM 21.1.0-rc3 (between v1.24.4 and v1.24.6 of your image).
Tested Versions
- ✅ v1.24.4 (LLVM 19.1.7) - Works
- ✅ LLVM 20.1.8 (manual test) - Works
- ❌ v1.24.6 (LLVM 21.1.0-rc3) - Fails
Recommendation
Downgrade to stable LLVM 20.1.8 until LLVM 21.1.0 final release fixes the CGO object file generation bug, which means reverting from LLVM-MinGW 20250812 to 20250709.
