It says:
root@debian:~/linux-3.2.23# dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH
s390x

OK, that's a good answer.....:-)

Now another problem has arisen....following the method that Philipp
outlines in earlier notes, I am getting the following error message in
the build modules step of:

fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_s390x_none_s390x

wakeup_source_unregister                         module: vmlinux,
version: 0x7c778579, export: EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
make[1]: *** [debian/stamps/build_s390x_none_s390x_plain] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/linux-3.2.23'
make: *** [binary-arch_s390x_none_s390x_real] Error 2
root@debian:~/linux-3.2.23#

Where might I find the build log that would expound on what's really
wrong here?

Thanks and have a good one, too.
