We still build all packages (with few exceptions like the Mono stack) as
both s390 and s390x. You can install the 31-bit libraries on 64-bit
system with yum when .s390 suffix is specified in the package name (yum
install libfoo.s390). The DVD and the Fedora repository are 64-bit only,
but the Everything repository (and then also updates), which yum
uses, contain the 31-bit compat packages. And there is a standalone pure
31-bit repository too.

yes, the situation on s390x is the same as on x86_64

Please let me know what packages are you missing, so we look on it.
