As announced in #1148038, new upstream releases of WebKitGTK no longer
support big-endian architectures.
wxwidgets3.2 currently builds a webview implementation on all
architectures. When webkit2gtk disappears from s390x, there are two
options for how wxwidgets3.2 could handle this:
1. Change the wxwidgets3.2 build system so that the webview
implementation is only enabled on little-endian architectures.
Ask the ftp team to remove packages that genuinely need the webview
(such as poedit) from s390x (and big-endian -ports architectures), but
the rest of the packages that need wxwidgets (for example 0ad) can stay.
2. Keep the wxwidgets3.2 build system as-is, and ask the ftp team to
remove all of the wxwidgets ecosystem from s390x (and big-endian
-ports architectures). Packages that cannot be removed from s390x
without extensive collateral damage, like src:meson, will still need
source changes to avoid their wxwidgets3.2 dependency.
I'm guessing that (1.) is probably the preferred choice?
