Add ldflags to the go plugin
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to add a `go-ldflags` option to the Go plugin for passing linker flags to `go install`. A contributor prepared a local patch but stepped back; issue remains open and available.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: This is a valid, well-scoped feature request from a maintainer (lengau) to add a `go-ldflags` string property to the Go plugin. A contributor (gcomneno) prepared a local implementation but stepped back in October 2026, leaving the issue open and available. The spec is clear: add a property, pass it via `-ldflags` to `go install`, with shell quoting via `shlex.quote()`. No PR has been submitted yet, so it needs someone to pick it up.

snapcraft#92 merged a PR to export CGO_LDFLAGS from the staged root for Go builds — a related but distinct concern (environment variable propagation vs explicit linker flag injection).
