When I used to frequent gonuts, I raised the issue why they didn't went the FFI way as D, Rust, .NET, Delphi, FreePascal do, but sadly they rather use cgo as solution.

I'm pretty sure the problem is Go's use of segmented stacks and runtime, which makes it hard to properly interface with C efficiently.

Sure, but the compiler could generate that FFI code, why the need to rely on an external tool (cgo) and a C compiler?
