Description
We have a use case to run a Quarkus application on IBM z systems
To obtain a native binary specific for s390x architecture, we need mandrel, was trying to build mandrel in my local system but looks like mx utility is not supported in the particular architecture.
Need help in what can be done in this regard.
[root@ibm-z-generic-system mx]# ./mx
unknown or unsupported architecture: os=linux, machine=s390x

Research direction
Start with the ./mx entry point and reproduce the reported error on Linux s390x. Trace where the utility rejects os=linux and machine=s390x, then determine the project changes and validation needed for mx to run on that architecture. Done means the command no longer reports s390x as unsupported and Mandrel development can proceed.
