The recently released gdb 6.1 will allow 'bi-arch' debugging on s390,
i.e. debugging a 32-bit application from a 64-bit gdb.

You can download the sources from the gdb home page; they should
build and run on s390 without any patches.


Alternatively, if you have an existing s390 (32-bit) gdb binary,
you can copy this binary over to your s390x system and use that
to debug 32-bit applications (with gdb and target application
*both* running in compatibility mode) -- this should already work
with e.g. the SLES-8 gdb.
