I've just installed Caiman under Hercules (P3-450), and am deeply
impressed that it works at all. The only wart so far seems to be that rm
reliably segfaults just after unlinking, which is odd - seems like an
ideal excuse to experiment with building fileutils, though.
(Still chrooted from the installation system - what's the quickest way
to make the freshly installed system bootable?)

Please - I was never a mainframer, so I'm relying completely on good
documentation. :)

Out of interest, why isn't the binary-s390 tree on auric being used for
this? At the moment it only seems to contain essential/required and a
few other bits of the base system - no glibc, even. If I can get
packages building under Hercules, can I help with uploading things
there, or is the Debian port tree not being used for some reason?
