What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.15.5 linux/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes, with Go 1.15.5 released a few days ago.

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

I put two files in a new directory.
main.go:

package main

// void hello(void);
import "C"

func main() {
	C.hello()
}

main.cpp:

#include <cstdio>

extern "C"
void hello(void) {
	printf("hello!\n");
}

And then I ran this code using

CGO_LDFLAGS=-std=c++14 go run .

What did you expect to see?

The following message should be printed:

hello!

This works in Go 1.15.4 at least. I've also tested some version of Go 1.14 in which it works.

What did you see instead?

go build runtime/cgo: invalid flag in go:cgo_ldflag: -std=c++14

It seems to me that -std=c++14 is a perfectly safe flag, I've been using it for quite some time.

I suspect #42562 is the cause.
