s390x builds on buildfarm

[Vivian Kong]

Hi,

Are builds being paused on s390x as it looks like the s390x builds were last 
run 15 days ago.  If so, wondering what is the reason for the pause and what is 
required to resume the builds?
The OS the builds were running on seems to have reached end of life.  Please 
let me know if we can help with getting them updated and resume the builds.

Hi Andres,

Sorry I don’t have any connections in AIX.   I couldn’t find info related to 
this.  Sorry I couldn’t help.

I realize the question below is likely not your department, but perhaps you
could refer us to the right people?

Does IBM provide any AIX instances to open source projects? We have access to
some via the gcc compile farm, but they're a bit outdated, often very
overloaded, and seem to have some other issues (system perl segfaulting etc).
