Not to mention an Alpha port, as well. I'm more than a little surprised it
hasn't been built for s390x, although I would expect your employer would be
one of the main forces driving such a build effort.

Actually, running a 31-bit version would get me some speed under Hercules,
even on an Opteron host. I had thought that the development effort had
gotten away from the 31-bit versions (which is why I've got some
reservations about getting a Multiprise).
