Ah, S/390.  You shoulda said.  :-)

OK, so there are .s390 and .s390x packages.  I guess one of these is for
/lib and one of these is for /lib64, but I'm not a S/390 expert.  You
only have the .s390x installed.

Maybe you really don't want to build the 32-bit libraries, you just
want the 64-bit versions.  In that case you can configure with --disable-multilib.
