+Subject: [PATCH] cmd/link: disable plugin support if cgo is disabled
+
+Functional plugin support requires cgo to be enabled. Disable
+it if the environment has disabled cgo.
+
+This prevents unexpected linker failures when linking large
+binaries with cgo disabled which use the plugin package.
+
+Fixes #45564
+
