Support for System Z (s390x)

[gcrova]

Hi,

Is there any plan to support Z linux architecture ?
Such support would help us to use the fabric.io Docker maven plugin (See fabric8io/docker-maven-plugin#1213 )

Thanks

We have successfully built the jffi native.jar in our team and have used this package successfully to connect to a UDS socket for s390 zLinux...

Straightforward build

wget https://github.com/jnr/jffi/archive/master.zip
&& unzip master.zip && cd jffi-master && ant

The native jffi jar is then in the build jffi-master/build directory and the specific s390 native .so here: jffi-master/build/jni/libjffi-1.2.so

You just need to rename the native.jar to jffi-1.2.19-native.jar and all was good :-)

@gaelcrova We would like to but without access to such a system it is difficult for us to make this happen. I am willing to work with you and other Z users!
