Thanks for taking a look! To clarify, the cross-compiler is *only* used when cross compiling, which isn't something the official buildds will ever invoke (and that's where I'm pulling that failure from). Within Debian, "s390x-linux-gnu-g(cc/++)" is a native compiler when on the native architecture. So unless something is going very wrong, the build logs I've provided should be from the native compiler (with CGO_ENABLED=1 explicitly enabled). ♥, - Tianon
