I know that some Linux distribution vendors are building JtR for s390
and s390x.  They use "make generic".

Great.  I might want to add a specific make target for this platform
later on (after some code re-arrangements).  I'll contact you about that
(for testing), if you don't mind.  There's no performance improvement to
expect from that, though, as "generic" does a good job of selecting the
most suitable settings.

What clock rate?  Can you please post /proc/cpuinfo off that system?

This looks like a fine 64-bit system at a fairly low clock rate (by
modern standards).
