There's a build failure with gcc9:

According to the toolchain people, the actual issue is the use of
"X" constraint which is too permissive. Switch to using "i" instead.

Hmmm, this works only for the kernel image, but not for modules, which
we compile with "-fPIC", which again doesn't work as described in the
referenced bugzilla:

Andreas, Ilya, any idea how to fix this?


I've had to turn off s390 in Fedora until this gets fixed :(
