Description
### Description of the problem / feature request:
It would be nice to see releases for other architectures then, x86_64. My ask is to have releases be produced for `s390x`.
### Feature requests: what underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?
Building Bazel from source is another layer of complexity since there is no Bazel release for `s390x`. I have to install build tools and compile it each time I want to use it.
### Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.
N/A
### What operating system are you running Bazel on?
Ubuntu 18.04 - `s390x`
### What's the output of `bazel info release`?
N/A
### If `bazel info release` returns "development version" or "(@non-git)", tell us how you built Bazel.
N/A
### What's the output of `git remote get-url origin ; git rev-parse master ; git rev-parse HEAD` ?
N/A
### Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?
I search the closed and open issues in this repo and it seems like people are already building it for `s390x` and thus there is an interest in putting out releases.
### Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?
If the Bazel team does not have access to `s390x`, we can change that! Happy to talk more about getting people access once I know if anyone is onboard with supporting this.
