go tool link custom sections in executable

[T Odin]

Hi, 

I'm trying to run an executable built from Go source on a target environment based out of Linux.

Loader on the target machine is customized and expects the elf sections to be in a different order.

I checked the Go source' link option in asm.go where it formats the elf header.

https://github.com/golang/go/tree/master/src/cmd/link/internal/amd64

From my understanding, it requires this implementation to be changed to run on my target platform.

Is there any other way, like linker script (used in Linux) which can be used to build Go executable?

The Go linker itself doesn't support linker scripts.

It may work to do something like -ldflags="-linkmode=external
-extldflags=-Tmylinkerscript".

Note that it's quite peculiar for a Linux implementation to require
ELF sections to be in a particular order. I don't understand what
would impose such a requirement.
