gold failed to link with s390.cc: undefined reference to `void gold::gold_error_at_location<32, true>' Its s390 target file compiles code for both s390 and s390x and references <32, true> instantiations, which exist only when a 32-bit s390 target is configured. The PKGBUILD asks for --enable-targets=x86_64-pep,bpf-unknown-none. x86_64-pep is the PE+ target for x86_64: it means nothing here, and on x86_64 it is what happens to bring in the 32-bit instantiations gold's target files want. So this was never a gold bug -- it is the -march=x86-64 story one layer further in. s390-linux-gnu is the honest translation of that line. gcc now compiles, Fortran front end included, and stopped in package_gcc() on libstdc++'s doxygen man pages -- two places, build and install, the eighth time this port has met that shape. --- FR --- gold ne se liait pas : s390.cc: undefined reference to `void gold::gold_error_at_location<32, true>' Son fichier de cible s390 compile pour s390 et s390x et référence des instanciations <32, true>, qui n'existent que si une cible s390 32 bits est configurée. Le PKGBUILD demande --enable-targets=x86_64-pep,bpf-unknown-none. x86_64-pep est la cible PE+ d'x86_64 : elle ne veut rien dire ici, et sur x86_64 c'est elle qui amène par hasard les instanciations 32 bits que gold réclame. Ce n'était donc pas un défaut de gold — c'est l'histoire du -march=x86-64 une couche plus loin. s390-linux-gnu est la traduction honnête de cette ligne. gcc compile désormais, front-end Fortran compris, et s'arrêtait dans package_gcc() sur les pages de manuel doxygen de libstdc++ — deux endroits, construction et installation, huitième fois que ce portage rencontre cette forme.

Arch Linux s390x
A port of Arch Linux to IBM s390x mainframe architecture with systemd support.
Boots a full Arch Linux system on IBM mainframes (or QEMU s390x emulation) using a hybrid build: cross-compilation for the kernel, native s390x compilation on z/VM for userspace.
Quick Start
make container # build dev container (first time)
cp .env.example .env # configure z/VM access
make all # build kernel + initramfs + systemd
make test-systemd # boot it
What Works
- Arch Linux kernel 6.18.6-arch1 with Arch patches, cross-compiled
- Initramfs via modified mkinitcpio
- Static busybox built natively on z/VM, 2.3MB
- Root filesystem with ext4, switch_root to real rootfs
- Systemd as PID 1
Pacman, bash, and GNU coreutils are not yet ported.
Build System
The build uses two tiers:
Cross-compilation (x86_64 host): Kernel is built in a Fedora 43 container with s390x-linux-gnu-gcc. Initramfs is generated with a patched mkinitcpio that handles cross-architecture binary injection.
Native compilation (s390x z/VM): Busybox and systemd must be built on real s390x hardware. The z/VM system runs RHEL 9.6 with GCC 11.5.0. Scripts handle SSH deployment and retrieval automatically via .env configuration.
