Is CGO_ENABLED still needed?

[denisa]

I’m working on a PR to get a multi-architecture (arm64, amd64) image, and I’m getting unexpected error while building the docker image for the arm64.

StackOverflow lead me to understand that the image was missing gnu’s gold linker.

Out of curiosity, I disabled CGO in the Dockerfile and could build the image for both platforms

Before I work on adding the required linker to the image, I wanted to ask if CGO_ENABLED=1 is still required, or how to figure this out?

As an argument for disabling the option: the Makefile is not setting it:

build: clean
    @mkdir -p $(BUILD_DIR) > /dev/null
    @export GO111MODULE=on
    go build ${BUILD_FLAGS} -o ${BUILD_DIR}/${BINARY_NAME} cmd/terrascan/main.go
    @echo "binary created at ${BUILD_DIR}/${BINARY_NAME}"
