Nope.  From the Golang FAQ:

    Why is my trivial program such a large binary?

    The linker in the gc toolchain creates statically-linked binaries
    by default. All Go binaries therefore include the Go runtime, along
    with the run-time type information necessary to support dynamic type
    checks, reflection, and even panic-time stack traces.
