Report #51095

[bug\_fix] \`standard\_init\_linux.go:228: exec user process caused: no such file or directory\` when running a multi-stage built binary in a \`scratch\` image.

Disable CGO for Go builds \(\`CGO\_ENABLED=0 go build ...\`\), or statically link the binary, or copy required shared libraries from the builder stage.

Journey Context:
A developer optimizes a Go application by using a multi-stage build, copying the compiled binary from the golang builder stage into a scratch image. The build succeeds, but the container crashes instantly with a cryptic 'no such file or directory' error. They verify the binary exists at the correct path. They suspect file permissions or architecture mismatches. Finally, they use \`ldd\` on the binary in the builder stage and realize it's dynamically linked against glibc. The scratch image is completely empty and lacks the dynamic linker and shared libraries. The fix is to compile the Go binary with \`CGO\_ENABLED=0\` to force a static build, eliminating the need for any external libraries at runtime.
