I am one of the zsystems Maintainers (s390x architecture) at openSUSE
and git can not be built any more since the update from 2.37.3 to
2.38.0, and with 2.38.1 afterwards. We have tried to debug it.
There is no real test error output, but we can identify, that it is
happening in the test part with check-chainlint.

We figured out, that the perl script have been changed there in the last
month.
I have to give the hint, that all versions of openSUSE for s390x are
affected by this build failure. Builds are working for the other
architectures.
How can we fix this issue?
