Thanks for the update. It would have been nice to get some feedback on
this before - getting support for this machine was pretty hard, I had
to poke people for weeks before I got the first answer from
engineering, and that was just "everything is too busy", and silence
since then. If we want to support s390x on apt.postgresql.org again,
support (and performance) needs to be much better.

These are two independent problems. pgpool2 just doesn't work on s390x
atm: https://github.com/pgpool/pgpool2/issues/106
