There are basic s390x support libraries in the archive (libc6-s390x, some lib64* libraries). With those I'm able to run IBM Java 64bit just fine on Debian. If the ISV applications are not linked statically to all the libs Debian does not provide, then they won't work. I'd assume that most are, though. You can check it by running ldd against the binary application. For IBM Java I get this: pkern@i43z10deblin0:/opt/ibm-java-s390x-60/bin$ ldd ./java libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000020000010000) libjli.so => /opt/ibm-java-s390x-60/bin/./../jre/lib/s390x/jli/libjli.so (0x000002000002f000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x000002000003a000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x000002000003f000) /lib64/ld64.so.1 => /lib/ld64.so.1 (0x000002aaaaaaa000) You'll get a "not found" in place of a library in there if you miss one.
