Originally I wanted to add an architecture specific weak function to handle s390
This did not work because file util/annotate.c includes the architecture specific versions
around line 100:

#include "arch/arm/annotate/instructions.c"
#include "arch/arm64/annotate/instructions.c"
#include "arch/x86/annotate/instructions.c"
#include "arch/powerpc/annotate/instructions.c"
#include "arch/s390/annotate/instructions.c"

This includes the C file for s390 so we end up having function call__parse defined twice,
one with a weak definition and one without which results in a compiler error.

I will use  a s390 specific call__parse function and sent another patch.
