No, it doesn't. You can use "go tool -modfile=tools.mod mytool" if you want them separate.

I built a simple tool to generate binstubs and work around this problem: https://github.com/jcmfernandes/go-tools-binstubs

However, having multiple tools share a single mod file still proves problematic occasionally, due to incompatible dependencies.
