On the big-endian 64-bit PowerPC port on Linux (`GOOS=linux` `GOARCH=ppc64`),
-the ABI has been migrated to ELFv2.
-This change has no effect for those building and running pure-Go
-binaries.
-
-External linking, cgo, and PIE binaries are now supported.
-Using these features requires an ELFv2 compatible runtime
-(libc, kernel, and all linked and loaded libraries).
+the Go toolchain now generates binaries that use the ELFv2
+system ABI.
ELFv2 support requires Linux kernel 3.13 or later.
RHEL7 backported this support to its 3.10 kernel.
+Cgo, position-independent executables (PIE), and external linking
+are now supported.
+Using these features requires an ELFv2 compatible runtime
+(libc and all linked and loaded libraries).

For programs that do not use cgo, the Go toolchain still
generates static binaries with internal linking by default.
For programs that have cgo options, if a static, pure-Go binary

_content/doc/go1.27: reword PPC64 release notes
Change the subsection title to PowerPC, as it is more specific to
PPC64 than to Linux in general.
Suggesting users "should" set CGO_ENABLED=0 is too strong. The
default should just work in most cases. Mention CGO_ENABLED=0 only
when a static, internally linked binary is needed. And the default
build mode and link mode just follow. Users don't need to
explicitly set them.
