Linux on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE use the s390x hardware architecture, so for some applications a little work sometimes has to be done so they compile and run as expected. This work is often done as a collaboration between the open source projects themselves and a team at IBM that helps with validation that the software is working as expected. This effort is an on going collaboration with every release of the software needing to be validated.

Elsewhere in the open source ecosystem, we saw helm-unittest add s390x to CI and begin releasing binaries with v0.6.2. The tsduck project (the MPEG Transport Stream Toolkit) also added s390x support and Ubuntu-based binaries are being released with v3.38-3822. Finally, it was brought to our attention that the WebAssembly Binary Toolkit (wabt) added s390x to their CI several months ago.
