I really don't see that as necessary here. While generally speaking,
it would be nice to support the widest possible range of hardware,
and it would not be hard to add this support, it seems highly unlikely
that anyone would actually want to use that in case of s390.
The last enterprise distros to support z9 were SLES11 (end of life as
of last month) and RHEL6 (ending its 10 year life next year). Anyone
who is still on those releases will probably not install a brand new
compiler, and anyone who is on newer releases won't run on prehistoric
hardware.
Debian still runs on very old hardware in theory, but even there you'd
have a hard time finding someone to test the output of the compiler
on an old machine.
