Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] add s390x port

Sorry for taking so long to give this the attention it deserves. I
think it looks good and is mostly ready to commit. A few
questions/comments though:

Reportedly this is wrong (a bug copied from glibc) and floats are
actually evaluated as float on s390. Can you check and confirm?

__ipc_perm_seq is int on other archs, without the padding. It's not a
standard type so I don't think we're forced to have matching type, but
I wonder why this is. OTOH maybe some current archs are buggy because
of this..

Is this intentional? s390x does not (or did not always) have dedicated
syscalls for socket ops?

Can you explain this function and why a tail-call to __tls_get_addr
doesn't work? Based on the (albeit 32-bit) info in
https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/tls.pdf it seems like it could but
maybe I'm missing something. Is there a special contract about
clobbers?
