The code you mention in the cgo tool is used when doing a dynamic link, but not when doing a static link. If you don't need cgo, set CGO_ENABLED=0 when you build the go tools, and you will get statically linked binaries. If you do need cgo, you will to pass -extldflags=-static to tell the external linker to do a static link.
