I don't think this is a real regression: the tests haven't passed on
s390x since 2021, at which point they were much shorter (30 seconds
rather than 2 minutes) and presumably had less coverage.
Given that pysdl2 is a game-related library and s390x machines are
~ $15K mainframes not known for their suitability for gaming, I'm not
convinced this should be RC.

I have intentionally not uploaded those versions to unstable when doing
team-uploads to stop it from regressing and blocking libsdl2, because
I have no good way to test them: nothing in Debian depends on pysdl2,
and I'm not actively using it for any non-Debian software.
Unfortunately backporting test fixes from newer versions tends to be a
pain because upstream have re-indented all the tests, but I'll see what
I can do.
