I have already searched for some days, tried several suggestions but none helped. At the moment I just want to create a small Go snippet which connects to an Oracle Database. While everything works by using normal go build and invoking the resulting dynamic linked application, I am stuck when I try to run the static compiler. I already have build other projects statically (even with CGO) without problems, but here gcc is not finding the oracle library. Maybe someone has a hint?
Error during build:

I also tried to put/export CGO_LDFLAGS and/ord LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, which didn't help.
Pkg-config shows as well the library
pkg-config --libs oci8
-L/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib -lclntsh
After looking for the static libraries, I have installed the complete oracle database package and now I have some more files in lib folder:
ls /usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib/lib*.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 1424782 /usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib/libagent12.a

...snipped...
As seen the one file has zero size, so I had to run $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntst to generate libclntst12.a.
