+ <body>
+ <p>A long time ago, in the &os; 5 times, there was an initial
+ port of &os; to s390 (32bit) and s390x (64bit)
+ which booted past init on good days in an emulator.</p>
+
+ <p>As an attempt to revive the s390x/systemz efforts I started
+ to get &os; s390x to build with clang/llvm 3.90.
+ At this time it is possible to build world and a GENERIC kernel
+ skeleton (not doing anything yet) using external binutils.</p>
+
+ <p>The primary idea of this initial work was to allow to
+ incrementally add the neccessary architecture-specific code.
+ Having the build framework done will allow third-party
+ developers to simply type <tt>make</tt>, as they are willing
+ to contribute to the port without having to know &os; build
+ specifics. After some cleanup and further updates to a more
+ recent HEAD I am planning to push the current work to a public
+ repo to allow collaboration.</p>
