Issue with ld flags being generated

[deepjyoti30]

Hi there, this is a great project and I just stumbled across it while I was looking into a goreleaser issue (this one).

I have a similar use-case like you had, I want to build darwin binaries on a linux machine.

I have setup a separate goreleaser config for darwin builds and I am running into the following issue:

⨯ release failed after 8s                  error=failed to build for darwin_arm64: exit status 2: # command-line-arguments
/usr/lib/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/link: running /home/deepjyoti30/git/osxcross-target/bin/o64-clang failed: exit status 1
/usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '-dynamic'
/usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
clang-14: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

As it seems, the -dynamic flag is not supported by ld anymore. I am assuming that the cause here is that a flag is being generated by osxcross that is not supported anymore by ld.

Following are the versions of ld, clang and gcc that I have:

Can you shed some light on this and let me know if I am missing something here? I am trying to run the build on an amd64 machine and my OS is Arch Linux.

Sorry for not responding here @deepjyoti30, hopefully you were able to find a solution.

I think this might be similar to the issue I ran into here: #6 (comment). It looks like CI is using your system's /usr/bin/ld instead of the one provided by the target. You can add the correct bin to your $PATH in a GitHub Action like this: https://github.com/plentico/plenti/blob/41d16dac87a452f547dc02edbf75b89dd7c8b277/.github/workflows/release.yml#L36
