Commit Message

Jens Remus April 23, 2026, noon UTC 
  The s390 32-bit target (s390-*) is deprecated and planned for removal
in a future release, along with the elf32-s390 target format.  Emit an
error for this target during configure, which can be overridden using
option --enable-obsolete.

Linux Kernel 6.19 removed s390 32-bit compatibility support. [1]
Glibc 2.43 deprecated s390 32-bit with the intent to remove it in a
future release. [2]
GCC 16 will deprecate s390 32-bit (compiler option -m31) with the intent
to remove it in a future release. [3]

The s390 64-bit target (s390x-*) remains supported.

[1]: Linux kernel 6.19 commit 8e0b986c59c6 ("s390: Remove compat support"),
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8e0b986c59c6
[2]: Glibc 2.43 commit 638d437dbf9c ("Deprecate s390-linux-gnu (31bit)"),
     https://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git?a=commitdiff;h=638d437dbf9c
[3]: GCC 16 commit 5886bb453a6a ("s390: Deprecate -m31"),
     https://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git?h=5886bb453a6a
