I cross-compiled the JVM locally and the builds are all succeeding, but I couldn't use an emulator (yet) or any real hardware (no access to one) to test the changes on these platforms. I see that GitHub actions do some tests on S390 and PPC but the tests seem to not be extensive.

Hi again, can someone with access to a PPC64, S360, etc. help with testing this?
