I looked into this and the bug associated was:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19613

The commit in question was upstream glibc commit
b49ab5f4503f36dcbf43f821f817da66b2931fe6 ("Remove union wait [BZ
#19613]"), and while I don't see anything s390 mentioned there,
the issue there was due to the caller of the wait using a long
instead of an int for the return value.

In other words, that'd not the droid we are looking for.

So the issue is something else.
