Mathieu Benoit 057b1b471c [ADD] bootstrap pacman, makepkg and repo-add natively on s390x
The README lists pacman, bash and coreutils as three missing pieces.
They are not three tasks: pacman is the only one that matters, because
its source tree also ships makepkg and repo-add. Once those run, every
remaining package stops being hand-work and becomes makepkg on the
upstream PKGBUILD.

pacman 7.1.0 builds unpatched on s390x. No cross-compilation is
involved: on native hardware the whole userspace builds at full speed,
which removes the z/VM round-trip the other scripts need.

Measured end to end: zlib built from the official PKGBUILD yields
zlib, zlib-static and minizip, all tagged arch = s390x, the library
reporting "ELF 64-bit MSB shared object, IBM S/390", and repo-add
indexing them into a usable core.db.

--- FR ---

Le README annonce pacman, bash et coreutils comme trois pieces
manquantes. Ce ne sont pas trois travaux : seul pacman compte, parce
que son arbre source livre aussi makepkg et repo-add. Des qu ils
tournent, chaque paquet restant cesse d etre du travail manuel et
devient un makepkg sur le PKGBUILD amont.

pacman 7.1.0 se compile sans correctif sur s390x. Aucune compilation
croisee n intervient : sur du materiel natif tout l espace utilisateur
se batit a pleine vitesse, ce qui supprime l aller-retour z/VM dont
dependent les autres scripts.

Mesure de bout en bout : zlib bati depuis le PKGBUILD officiel produit
zlib, zlib-static et minizip, tous marques arch = s390x, la
bibliotheque se declarant « ELF 64-bit MSB shared object, IBM S/390 »,
et repo-add les indexant dans un core.db utilisable.

# Bootstrap the Arch packaging toolchain (pacman, makepkg, repo-add) on an
# s390x host, then build official Arch PKGBUILDs for s390x.
#
# WHY THIS IS THE KEYSTONE
#
# The README lists "pacman, bash and GNU coreutils are not yet ported" as three
# missing pieces. They are not three tasks -- pacman is the only one that
# matters, because pacman's source tree also ships makepkg and repo-add. Once
# those three run, every remaining package stops being hand-work and becomes
# `makepkg` on the upstream PKGBUILD.
#
# NO CROSS-COMPILATION IS NEEDED HERE. This runs on native s390x hardware, so
# the whole userspace builds at full speed with the host toolchain. That drops
# the z/VM round-trip the other scripts need.
