Hi, (please CC me on replies, as I'm not subscribed) git commit 29fb2ec384a867ca577335a12f4b45c184e7b642[1], present in 2.38.0 and later, introduced a function that gets the number of cores from /proc/cpuinfo. It essentially does this on linux: do { local @ARGV='/proc/cpuinfo'; return scalar(grep(/^processor\s*:/, <>)); } if -r '/proc/cpuinfo'; On s390x, the ^processor lines are like this: processor 0: version = FF, identification = 148F67, machine = 2964 In other arches (I checked amd64, armhf and arm64), they are like this instead: processor : 0 As a result, that function is returning 0 on s390x, and that value is used for the number of jobs the script should execute. Since it's zero, it exits without doing anything, and that breaks the test and the build[3] on s390x. This is trivial and I don't think a PR is necessary, but let me know if you want one. That regexp could perhaps be: /^processor\s*\d*\s*:/ or /^processor[\s\d]*:/ or something else. 1. https://github.com/git/git/commit/29fb2ec384a867ca577335a12f4b45c184e7b642 2. https://github.com/git/git/commit/29fb2ec384a867ca577335a12f4b45c184e7b642#diff-e7042d714d4be11a06d153e6f2daeb3c3a9766b972522baab8ba113b962086cfR574 3. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/635348769/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-s390x.git_1%3A2.38.1-1ubuntu1_BUILDING.txt.gz
