Actually, I am trying to link object file compile with gcc with go
object file. I was thinking using gccgo would make things simplier since
the backend is the same. Anyway, I follows your suggestion to use 'go'
command instead and find this guide
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16747021/how-do-you-statically-link-a-c-library-in-go-using-cgo>
on SO. The answer written by Didier basically works for me, except that
'//#include <toto.h>' has to be replaced by '//#include <toto.h>' to get
the code compiled. Have a good day :)

Btw, does anyone have problem cloning github repo? I get the SSL
verfication problem mentioned earlier. However, I have already installed
nss-certs and include the following line in .bashrc:
  GIT_SSL_CAINFO="$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
  export GIT_SSL_CAINFO

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Alex
