While the details previously mailed to me have alas now been lost, I
believe there is an upstream libc fix for s390 which is not yet in the
Debian package. In short, libpthread must be compiled with a certain
pic option (-fPIC or -fpic, not sure which) to prevent the following
relocation problem when compiling lam, for example:
cc -shared -Wl,-soname=liblam.so.4 -o debian/tmp/usr/lib/liblam.so.4.0 tmp/*/*.o -lpthread -lutil -ldl
/usr/lib/libpthread_nonshared.a(pthread_atfork.os)(.text+0x24): In function `__pthread_atfork':

Hopefully Gerhard can give more information if needed.
Please let me know if this is a quick fix for Sarge, or whether I
should attempt a workaround in lam.
Could you teach us more information about it and the fix? Glibc is
not changed more than one year. If this problem has not been existed
such a long time (over one year), I think it's related with the recent
various toolchain updates. Note that it's similar problem with the
recent binutils problem on mips (that problem is decided to not fix in
the sarge).
Camm, Gerhard, did you know the following issues? (1) what the problem
is (2) what the appropriate fix is (3) it's glibc specific problem.
If it's difficult issue, I think it's nice to apply workaround patch
to lam.
