The problems are mostly in the area of 64bit/32bit compatibility, i.e. making sure that you can install any mix of 32 bit and 64 bit applications on a single image. This work is mostly being discussed on the [email protected] list, where the port to AMD's hammer architecture is done. Note that you can use a 64 bit kernel with debian on s390 in order to use more than 2 GB RAM, but there are a few applications that might not run in that environment.
