And we were cross-compiling things like glibc, which means using the
compiler and tool chain on x86 to build the executable code for s390. You
tell the tools to put those s390 executable parts in a separate directory
from where you package it in the initial ram disk. Except when you make a
typo late at night and overwrite your Linux x86 glibc with the s390 code
that does not run there. One by one things were falling over and I had to
re-install Linux on the PC next morning...
