+Summary: building mcs on s390 fails
+
+Description of Problem:
+Building mcs on s390 fails while compiling the compiler, someone on the
+mono channel said it could be a runtime issue
+
+here the full build log:
+http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=mcs&ver=1.0.2-1&arch=s390&stamp=1098830051&file=log&as=raw
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+build mcs on s390
+
+Actual Results:
+mcs   -d:NET_1_1 -d:ONLY_1_1 -g /target:exe /out:mcs.exe cs-parser.cs
+@mcs.exe.sources
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
+set to an instance of an object
+in <0x00000b6e> Mono.CSharp.RootContext:EmitCode ()
+
+make[2]: *** [mcs.exe] Error 1
+make[2]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/mcs-1.0.2/mcs'
+
+Expected Results:
+successful compilation
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
+
+Additional Information:
+This is a showstopper for mono going into sarge (upcomming debian stable
+release), or we have to drop s390 support which would be very unnice since
+debian always tries to support as much architectures as possible.
+
+thanks for your time,
