+  Go 1.19 adds support for the Loongson 64-bit architecture
+  <a href="https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation">LoongArch</a>
   on Linux (<code>GOOS=linux</code>, <code>GOARCH=loong64</code>).
+  The implemented ABI is LP64D. Minimum kernel version supported is 5.19.

+<p>
+  Note that most existing commercial Linux distributions for LoongArch come
+  with older kernels, with a historical incompatible system call ABI.
+  Compiled binaries will not work on these systems, even if statically linked.
+  Users on such unsupported systems are limited to the distribution-provided
+  Go package.
