Description

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

When I tried to migrate Cilium to the mips64le (loongnix) platform, I got an error, among others, when I compiled a class library, Proxylib, and found that Cilium was handling it as a .so file. Here is the compile command

Since -buildmod=c-shared is used, this buildmod prompt does not support building on linux/mips64le, does anyone have any good solutions?

What did you expect to see?

-buildmode=c-shared support on linux/mips64le

What did you see instead?

-buildmode=c-shared not supported on linux/mips64le

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Go linker source code to identify missing support for buildmode=c shared on linux/mips64le. Focus on files in cmd/link and look for architecture specific conditionals that exclude mips64le. Consider adding the necessary relocation and dynamic linking support.
