What did you do?

I'm trying to link against a C++ library, and I'm unsure how to construct the right clinkopt flags to specify where to find the .a file. I've included the minimal repro here: https://github.com/irfansharif/test-repo

What I'm specifically interested in is the following snippet:

go_library(
    name = "libmain",
    srcs = ["main.go"],
    cdeps = ["//:libroach"],
    cgo = True,
    # TODO(irfansharif): How do we avoid referring to bazel-out/darwin-fastbuild
    clinkopts = [
        "-Lbazel-out/darwin-fastbuild/bin/libroach/lib",
        "-lroach",
    ],
    cppopts = [
        "-Ibazel-out/darwin-fastbuild/bin/libroach/include",
    ],
    importpath = "github.com/irfansharif/test-repo",
    visibility = ["//visibility:private"],
)

Where //:libroach generates the following static library:

    static_libraries = ["libroach.a"],

How am I to get the go library to look towards the right directory where the library is placed? I see it being placed under bazel-out/darwin-fastbuild/bin/libroach/lib, but I assume that's unsafe to hardcode in.
