I'm not sure whether this is a good idea in general. If
we can be sure that for s390x there is an issue with the
tool chain I could imagine something like:
if build on s390x
run_test || true # FIXME: explanation why we ignore test
else
run_test
I do not think that ignoring the tests on all architectures
is a good idea.
Kind regards
Andreas.
