Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks for your interest.  :)

I am directing you over to debian-mentors, since your enquiry is
probably better fitted there (debian-testing is intended for upgrade
reports etc.)

I suspect you are looking for our s390x porterbox[1]. :)

We have guest accounts[2] which might be what you are looking for. :)
If you get a guest account, you can use it to get a "chroot" for
building as described at [3].

As suggested in the beginning, if you have any further questions, please
follow up to debian-mentors. :)

Thanks,
