The "Linux for S/390" Redbook (SG24-4987-00) says
7.2.1 Required hardware features
The following features must be on the system:
7.2.1.1 Memory and processor
You need at least 128 MB of RAM. The processor must be of the CMOS
generation and be at least G2, although using a G5 or better is
recommended.
G3, G4 and MP2000 do not support IEEE floating point in the hardware.
Because of this, you might see performance degradation if you run Linux for
S/390 and Linux applications on such machines, as IEEE floating point
will be
emulated by software.
However, since IEEE exception handling is not emulated, you’ll get warning
messages whenever a program tries to use it.
