> s390 is a 31-bit platform, not a 32-bit platform. ARM64 only uses 48 bits for the address, but it uses 64-bit CPU words. Usually, we refer to an architecture by its CPU word, 32 or 64 bits. s390 uses 32-bit CPU words, no? The Wikipedia article says: "ESA/390 is arguably a 32-bit architecture; as with System/360, System/370, 370-XA, and ESA/370, the general-purpose registers are 32 bits long, and the arithmetic instructions support 32-bit arithmetic. Only byte-addressable real memory (Central Storage) and Virtual Storage addressing is limited to 31 bits." > s390 packages are still being built for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 which is > still actively supported. I assume the same applies to RHEL LTS releases but > I can't verify that as I have no insight into RedHat's internal build system. Red Hat maintains Fedora and RHEL, none is supporting s390, but both support s390x: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures * https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/considerations_in_adopting_rhel_8/architectures_considerations-in-adopting-rhel-8 Note: The correct name is Red Hat ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43179> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
