FYI: systemz and s390x both refer to IBM’s Z-series mainframes. IBM has put a lot of effort into supporting LLVM on these. That said, the architecture is weird and I suspect that GNUstep (and possibly Clang’s Objective-C support in general) would not work. I’m happy to help anyone who wants to contribute Z-series support to Clang’s Objective-C front end and libobjc2 though. David
