I have built it recently. So if you just need validation: confirmed.
Yep, it works.
Thanks to changes made available in 4.0.0 it actually builds according
to "the standard recipe". Vewy nice. As a result, both OORexx and
Regina are available for both i386 (32 bit) and s390 (32 bit) on a
ready-to-run CD image at
http://www.casita.net/pub/nord/CD1-s390.iso.gz
(Unlike "CD2", this one has both platforms, though the name of the
download implies just one. That will change in the future.) That
copy was built for /usr/opt relocation. You can use it immediately,
but it's a different animal from RPM packaging.
If you wish to build an RPM, that's a different matter. As John
McKown said, it's reasonably easy to do with Hercules.
