In the official build process for Terraform, experiments are only allowed in alpha release builds. We recommend that third-party distributors follow that convention in order to reduce user confusion.
## Go Options
The Terraform release process uses the Go toolchain defaults for the current operating system and processor architecture.
For the most part, the Terraform release process relies on the Go toolchain defaults for the target operating system and processor architecture.
### `CGO_ENABLED`
One exception is the `CGO_ENABLED` option, which is set explicitly when building Terraform binaries. For most platforms, we build with `CGO_ENABLED=0` in order to produce a statically linked binary. For MacOS/Darwin operating systems, we build with `CGO_ENABLED=1` to avoid a platform-specific issue with DNS resolution.
