Apart from the replies that you have gotten here, there's a little bit
of documentation in lwp_asm.c around line 200.  I'm sorry to say that
none of us have any experience writing S/390 assembler, but if you can
give us a good references to that we might be able to help you more.

The other option is using pthreads instead of porting lwp to the
S/390.  Try `configure --with-pthreads'.  With that, we're able to
build Arla on Linux/390.
