Most ppc64 relocations come in six or more variants where the basic relocation formula is the same, but which bits of the computed value are installed where changes. Introduce the concept of "variants" for internal relocations to support this. Since this applies to architecture-independent relocation types like R_PCREL, we do this in relocsym. Currently there is only an identity variant. A later CL that adds support for ppc64 ELF relocations will introduce more.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
