My solution to the challenge of cross compiling Go code with embedded C snippets
My solution to the challenge of cross compiling Go code with embedded C/C++ snippets
(i.e. CGO_ENABLED=1) is based on the concept of [lightweight Linux containers](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXC).
All the necessary Go tool-chains, C cross compilers and platform headers/libraries
have been assembled into a single Docker container, which can then be called as if

### CGO dependencies
The main differentiator of xgo versus other cross compilers is support for basic
embedded C code and target-platform specific OS SDK availability. The current xgo

It is assumed that the dependent C library is `configure/make` based, was properly
prepared for cross compilation and is available as a tarball download (`.tar`,

Such dependencies can be added via the `--deps` CLI argument. A complex sample
for such a scenario is building the Ethereum CLI node, which has the GNU Multiple
