It's been six months, and in the absence of any further information I'm
closing this report.

For the record, I note a successful Debian package build of 25.1 on s390x:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=emacs25&arch=s390x&ver=25.1%2B1-3&stamp=1480559884

I have a Debian S/390x QEMU/Chroot. It is a command line environment
without a windowing system.

I am attempting to build Emacs 24.5. It fails to build. Below are the
steps to reproduce the failure.

First, fetch:

wget http://mirrors.syringanetworks.net/gnu/emacs/emacs-24.5.tar.gz
tar xzf emacs-24.5.tar.gz
cd emacs-24.5/

Next, attempt to build:

./configure --with-xml2 --with-zlib --without-x --without-sound --without-xpm \
  --without-jpeg --without-tiff --without-gif --without-png --without-rsvg \
  --without-imagemagick --without-xft --without-libotf --without-m17n-flt \
  --without-xaw3d --without-toolkit-scroll-bars --without-gpm --without-dbus \
  --without-gconf --without-gsettings --without-makeinfo \
  --without-compress-install

It results in:

make[2]: Entering directory '/root/emacs-24.5/lisp'
for file in `find . -type d -print`; do case $file in .*/cedet* |
.*/leim* ) ;; *) wins="$wins${wins:+ }$file" ;; esac; done; \
for file in $wins; do \
   ./../build-aux/update-subdirs $file; \
done;
make[2]: Leaving directory '/root/emacs-24.5/lisp'
if test "no" = "yes"; then \
  rm -f bootstrap-emacs; \
  ln temacs bootstrap-emacs; \
else \
  ./temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap || exit 1; \
  test "X" = X ||  -zex emacs; \
  mv -f emacs bootstrap-emacs; \
fi

At this point, I have tried to build Emacs without Lisp since I don't
use it. I'm told its not possible. Confer,
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2016-06/msg00412.html.

I think its best to turn this issue over to the Emacs folks.
