The PARI Debian package is already compiled for Linux on (31 bit) S/390.
The shared library  is compiled with -fPIC, but what does the 
"-mno-backchain" ? Will it works with (31 bit) S/390

I heard talk about starting  Debian Linux/S390x, but for now there are no
autobuilders for packages.

Cheers,

Bill.
