SYMBOL NOT FOUND: Linking a `go` library into `python` with `cgo` and `pybind11`

Question

I'm trying to make a go function available in Python. I'm using the standard cgo approach combined with pybind11 but not able to get it working. I'm leveraging this demo which works on its own but not when trying to link the go code. Equally I'm able to call the go code from C but not from Python.

UPDATE

I've confirmed that the issue is definitely in the linking step by using a shared library not compiled from Go. The error is very likely in either the shared library definition or the CMake file setup.

I've got the following file in go:

package main

import "C"

//export Sum
func Sum(a, b int) int {
    return a + b
}


func main() {}

That I'm compiling into a C shared library hello.so via:

go build -buildmode=c-shared -o hello.so hello.go

Then adding a C++ file example.cpp:

#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include "hello.h"


int add(int i, int j) {
    long long other_sum = Sum(2, 3);
    return i + j;
}

namespace py = pybind11;

PYBIND11_MODULE(example, m) {
    // optional module docstring
    m.doc() = "pybind11 example plugin";

    // define add function
    m.def("add", &add, "A function which adds two numbers");
}

Then, with the full source code of pybind11 into a folder called pybind11, I run the following:

mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

which successfully creates a Python library in folder build.

However, when calling the Python CLI cd build && python3 and then importing add with from example import add, I run into the following issue:

ImportError: Symbol not found: _Sum

This seems like a library linking issue, but it doesn't go away with the following CMakeLists.txt configuration:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)
project(example)

find_package(PythonLibs)
include_directories(${PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS})

add_subdirectory(pybind11)
pybind11_add_module(example example.cpp)

# first attempt to link
include_directories(.)
link_directories($PWD)

# second attempt to link
add_library(hello SHARED IMPORTED)
set_property(TARGET hello PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION "./hello.so")

Any thoughts on why the attempt to link is failing?

UPDATE
