Add ldflags to the go plugin
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to add an ldflags option to the Go plugin so users can pass linker flags (e.g. version overrides) to go install, similar to goreleaser. Not yet implemented; a contributor volunteered with a concrete plan 17 days ago.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Filed by a maintainer and actively engaged: gcomneno commented 17 days ago offering to implement a `go-ldflags` option passed to the final `go install` invocation, with a plan covering quoting semantics, unit tests, and docs. Code inspection confirms the option does not exist yet (only go-buildtags/go-generate), so the request is still valid and in progress.

Also about linker flags in the go plugin, but for CGO_LDFLAGS (cgo linking of staged libraries) rather than a -ldflags build option; different mechanism.
