There is a later s390utils in Red Hat's RawHide archive, with
a man page showing a 2006 date. Neither that man page, nor
the --help show the 'lower case f' option
It rebuilds locally as a scratch build thus:
$ rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'build_cflags %nil' --define \
'build_ldflags %nil' s390utils-2.5.0-1.fc29.src.rpm
Those two 'defines' are to accomodate some changes in rpmbuild
in its macro set since the stabilization fork of their
development line from about Fedora 19 or 20. We are about
five years past that :)
