1. What version of Go are you using (go version)?

# go version
go version go1.6.1 linux/amd64

1. What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

# go env
GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/root/hyperbuild"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/lib/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT="1"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0"
CXX="g++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"

1. What did you do?

Tried to build an compile https://github.com/hyperhq/hyperd.git

mkdir -p ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/hyperhq
cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/hyperhq
git clone https://github.com/hyperhq/runv.git runv
git clone https://github.com/hyperhq/hyperd.git hyperd
git clone https://github.com/hyperhq/hyperstart.git hyperstart
cd hyperd
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

1. What did you expect to see?

Two go binaries hyperd and hyperctlto be built succesfully like it happens in Ubuntu/debian.

1. What did you see instead?

During make, the error thrown was:

# make

Thanks in advance!

Have you checked whether this is a duplicate of any previously-reported Alpine problems? https://github.com/golang/go/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+alpine

@bradfitz: couldn't figure out, before I posted and therefore created a new issue.

[ianlancetaylor]

Your linker is complaining about an object that was generated by your compiler or assembler. This is not a Go bug and there is nothing that Go can change that will fix it.

Basically you have an assembler that generates a R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX relocation but your linker doesn't understand it.

Basically a dup of #13678.

go build -a fixed this issue for me

apk add libc-dev fixed this issue for me.
