Due to the lack of vector instructions, the TCG mode of qemu does not work with a z13 baseline (such as RHEL 8). Because of that, we had to disable the execution of the quickcheck test suite at build time on s390x. David Hildenbrand did a great work on s390x vector instructions that recently was accepted in qemu, targetted for qemu 4.1. Hence, once this version is available, we can re-enable the build time test.
