TL;DR: there is no way to do this right.
We do know that in some combination of build tags set (or unset),
linker flags, environment variables, and libc implementation,
this package won't work right. In fact, there is one specific
combination:
1. `CGO_ENABLED=1` (or unset)
2. static binary is being built (e.g. `go build` is run with `-extldflags -static`)
3. `go build` links the binary against glibc
4. `osusergo` is not set
This particular combination results in the following legitimate linker warning:
> cgo_lookup_unix.go: warning: Using 'getpwuid_r' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
If this warning is ignored and the resulting binary is used on a system
with files from a different glibc version (or without those files), it
could result in a segfault.
The commit being reverted tried to guard against such possibility,
but the problem is, we can only use build tags to account for items
1 and 4 from the above list, while items 2 and 3 do not result in
any build tags being set or unset, making this guard excessive.
Remove it.

pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Moby project without being specific to its internals.
Utility packages are kept separate from the moby core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible. If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the Moby organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.
The directory pkg is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core
Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!
Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
