without looking at the specific cause, I should note that serna-free is
not expected to work on anything but i386 and amd64, as it has some
assembly code for atomic operations. I was advised not to restrict this
in the Architecture: field (as the software _could_ be used on any arch)
and let the porters handle this. Feel free to add it to n-f-u if you
think that is the right action.

Patches are welcome. The assembly is well isolated in the code and
already supports different arch-os-compiler combinations, so new one
should not be hard to add.

I’m downgrading this bug, because serna has never built on s390.

Greetings,
Joachim
