The Docker Trail
summary
Docker distributes a static binary and the team finds three concrete surprises: passing a Boolean via -ldflags makes Go 1.4 produce nondeterministic values so the build sometimes thinks it is not static; container processes are intentionally double-forked so grandchildren become orphaned and can be reaped; and to avoid installing pkcs11 shared libs they experiment with dlopen(NULL) plus -linkmode=external, -Wl,--whole-archive and -export-dynamic to expose symbols — it works in experiments but is not used in production.
