Re: Golang programs keeping references [gnu: go: Update default to 1.11.]

[Pierre Neidhardt]

Yes, it should be statically linked.  Isn't it the same issue as we recently had
with go-1.11 itself?

The fix was

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
           ;; Prevent installation of the build cache, which contains store
           ;; references to most of the tools used to build Go and would
           ;; unnecessarily increase the size of Go's closure if it was
           ;; installed.
           ;; TODO This should be moved into the 'install' phase when Go 1.9 is
           ;; removed.
           (add-before 'install 'delete-extraneous-files
             (lambda _
               (delete-file-recursively "../pkg/obj")
               #t))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

We should try that.
