5735	Build failure on s390(x): Don't know if ArchUnknown is 32bit	nomeata	simonmar	"Hi,

the 7.4.1 release candidate failed to build on s390(x); previous versions built fine. It would be great if s390(x) support would not be dropped, if it can be helped:

The s390 port is 32 bit (or is it 31? anyways, it has worked before), while the s390x port ist 64 bit.
