Maybe they're both dead platforms?  ;-)

Seriously, I agree with Marc's opinion that issuing an RC1 is the best
way to flush out some more port reports.  I do not know what else we can
do to get people off their duffs and onto last-minute testing.

retest if so.  Slightly more seriously, we did see a recent report of
trouble on S/390 Linux, but the complainant didn't follow up...
