You mention the i386 version and build my s390.rpm package. What do I need
to change in the i386 package?


Ideally, nothing... In the early days we had to pick up the proper
versions of config.sub and config.guess but these days they are normally
up-to-date.
Just to try, I picked up the source package for SuSE 9
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/9.0/suse/src/quagga-0.96.2-22.src.rpm
and then something like this:
rpm -i quagga-0.96.2-22.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS
rpm -bb quagga.spec
And when all works fine you find the rpm packages in ../RPMS/s390. In
this case I noticed that we miss a macro so I had to comment out line 29
in the spec file (and remember that my package is missing some
dependencies). That seemed enough to make it build (after I installed
automake, texinfo and libread-devel - wouldn't it be nice if SuSE
packages would have proper build requirements listed). Whether the thing
works is another issue. The fact that SuSE provide it with the Intel
version but not with s390 make one wonder.

I see S390 and S390x. What is the difference?


The s390 is meant for a 32-bit distribution, and s390x is the 64-bit one.
