As an independent check of a new S/390 VM running Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
using QEMU 4.2.0 on a physical machine running Ubuntu 20.04, I pulled
down from

	https://sourceforge.net/projects/exiftool/

the Image-ExifTool-12.00.tar.gz file, and followed its README
file to build, test, and install it on my S/390 VM: it reported

	All tests successful.
	Files=99, Tests=542, 511 wallclock secs ( 5.29 usr 3.08 sys + \
	          461.82 cusr 42.11 csys = 512.30 CPU)
	Result: PASS

That is not the same version of exiftool that Boyuan reported, but
there was no URL for his version.  I someone cares to send me a
suitable source URL off list, I'll do another build with it on my new
S/390 VM.
