build go-nvml failed with error "unsupported linker arg: --unresolved-symbols"

[xuzhenglun]

I'm trying to build a project which imported github.com/NVIDIA/go-nvml, which is a C binding to nvida nvml lib.

when I build with hermetic-cc-toolchain, an error was throw: error: unsupported linker arg: --unresolved-symbols. when I switch toolchain to local gcc, it works just fine.

I have tried to alternative --unresolved-symbols with -undefined dynamic_lookup or --allow-shlib-undefined, but it did not work.

Is anybody can help me with this? I will be really appreciate it.

full demo can be found here: https://github.com/xuzhenglun/hermetic-go-nvml

1. u can build this demo with hermetic_cc_toolchain, and it will fail and throw errors:

2. if using un-hermetic cc toolchain, it works fine.
