'-s' flag to the linker to omit the debug information
(for example, go build -ldflags "-s" prog.go).

+The code generated by the gc compiler includes inlining of
+function invocations and registerization of variables. These optimizations
+can sometimes make debugging with gdb harder. To disable them
+when debugging, pass the flags -gcflags "-N -l" to the
+go command used to build the code being
+debugged.
