That's why I haven't asked for an unblock yet. There is a patch that
may resolve that problem on s390 that needs to be tested (and also
needs a response from the maintainers of fontforge.)
I haven't had time to go deep into the problem besides creating a
smaller test case. See #594629 and the work that Nico Tyni has done; I
think he may be closest to a patch.
Christian/Kęstutis: can you look at the patch and see if it's
something that you'd be willing to make an new upload with? [I'll try
to get a test in with a new fontforge on s390 if you'd be willing to
upload a package with it, assuming that it fixes the problem.]

just ban all forms of verbal and non-verbal communication -- let's see
those criminals make plans now!"
