Source: zlib
Version: 1:1.3.dfsg+really1.3.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear maintainer(s),

Linux 6.19 will drop support for 31-bit compatibility on s390x, and will
also stop providing 31-bit support in UAPI header files [1]. Once this
lands in unstable, it will become impossible to build the libc6-s390 and
libc6-dev-s390 packages on s390x, and in turns the gcc-multilib and
g++-multilib packages.

zlib build-depends on gcc-multilib [s390x], this will have to be fixed
by disabling the build of lib32z1 and lib32z1-dev on s390x. That said
this cannot be done yet (hence the severity wishlist), as zlib in a
circular loop with gcc-defaults, gcc-15, and some coordination will be
needed to upload all these packages within a few days.

Please find attached a patch I tested for this removal. Please get ready
to integrate it, but please also WAIT for the coordination for the final
step before uploading such a change to unstable. On the other hand,
upload to experimental is fine.

Regards
Aurelien
