The s390x architecture is big-endian. However the following program

#include <boost/predef/other/endian.h>
#if defined(BOOST_ENDIAN_LITTLE_BYTE)
According to Boost, this system is little-endian.
#elif defined(BOOST_ENDIAN_BIG_BYTE)
According to Boost, this system is big-endian.

Boost cannot determine the endianness of this system.

The macro are always defined, you should test their value, not their
existence. Basically, you need to use
#if BOOST_ENDIAN_LITTLE_BYTE
instead of
#if defined(BOOST_ENDIAN_LITTLE_BYTE)
With this change, your program correctly says that s390x is big-endian.
Thank you for this suggestion. I updated the libgdf package accordingly.
Best,
