Yes.

The kernel should actually work, at least if you apply the patch
below. Unfortunately, newer binutils don't work with
OUTPUT_ARCH(s390), so there is no easy way to get it right for
everyone.
Note that you should avoid running ancient beta releases in general.
Updating the kernel helps, but you don't get updates for broken
or insecure user space tools.
