+A workaround with [gazelle](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-gazelle) `map_kind` directive is possible. This will override rules_go `go_binary` rule with `go_binary` which contains default `gc_linkopts` parameters. Add this line to your BUILD files (usually adding to root BUILD file will suffice) and run `gazelle` to automatically generate `load` statements.

+go_binary overrides go_binary from rules_go and provides default
