There is no stable Go ABI.  Even minor updates change ABI because type
sizes and struct offsets change and are inlined across shared object
boundaries.  You have to rebuild all reverse dependencies to avoid ABI
mismatches.  Go's compatibility guarantees only apply at the source
level and do not preclude the addition of new struct fields, for
example.

Just because there is a way to build shared objects does not mean it's
possible to use this capability to short-circuit build processes like we
do for most C and many C++ packages.

Thanks,
Florian
