Hi,

I am pretty sure no one has ever attempted this, we certainly don't have
access to one ;-). The code has run on a few architectures now, and comes
from a 64 bit background (again I do not even know if the S/390 is a
32 bit or 64 bit architecture). It should be endian independent, but
there will almost certainly be something about the S/390 which will
need work - what is the normal page size? XFS is currently restricted
to a filesystem block size equal to the system page size.

I would attempt a compilation and report back what happens and we can
take it from there.
