The second problem is a race condition in linuxthreads. This is fixed
with the memory barrier definition. The patch for the two problems:

2002-01-16  Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

     * linuxthreads/sysdeps/s390/s390-32/pt-machine.h:
     (MEMORY_BARRIER): Define.
     (CURRENT_STACK_FRAME): Remove duplicate definition.
     * linuxthreads/sysdeps/s390/s390-64/pt-machine.h: Likewise.
     * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/swapcontext.c: Remove.
     * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-32/swapcontext.S: New file.
     * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/swapcontext.S: New file.

I hope that this is it now. Make tests runs without problem with gcc
2.95.3, we'll have the result with gcc 3.1 by tomorrow.
