This particular problem was already diagnosed as a compiler bug, but
FWIW: s390x is a Debian release architecture, and current blead passes
all the tests on a "real" s390x box with gcc 4.6.3.
There's also gcc 4.4.7 around, and that one doesn't exhibit the bug either
according to the testcases (but I didn't try to build Perl with that.)
