Subject: [PATCH v1 0/1] s390: Deprecate s390 32-bit target "s390-*"
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 13:40:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413114052.2415966-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Linux Kernel 6.19 removed s390 32-bit compatibility support. [1]
Glibc 2.43 deprecated s390 32-bit [2] and will remove it with
Glibc 2.44 [3]. GCC 16 will deprecate s390 32-bit (compiler option
-m31) with the intent to remove it in a future release. [4]
This deprecates s390 32-bit (target "s390-*" and format "elf32-s390")
in the upcoming Binutils release with the intent to remove it in a
future release.
s390 32-bit deprecation/removal overview:
- Linux Kernel 6.19 (February 2026) removed s390 32-bit compat
- Glibc 2.43 (January 2026) deprecated s390 32-bit
- GCC 16 (expected April 2026) will deprecate s390 32-bit
- Glibc 2.44 (expected August 2026) will remove s390 32-bit
- Binutils 2.47 (expected August 2026) would deprecate s390 32-bit
- Binutils 2.48 (expected February 2027) would remove s390 32-bit
- GCC 17 (expected April 2027) would remove s390 32-bit
Removal of s390 32-bit support in Binutils could also be deferred to
Binutils 2.49 (expected August 2027) if that would be preferable, so
that Binutils removes it after GCC.
Feedback is much appreciated!
