Thomas, Unfortunately we previously had some churn in the teams that worked
on DPDK
on Power. That had a downstream impact. We (Power) should be in better
shape than we
were in the past. For the last several weeks, we have been regularly
running a sub-set of
DTS with unit tests, sample  applications and so on against the master
branch. We are also
periodically running these tests against several of the  stable branches as
well.

We have not observed any compilation issues since we started the CI. The
last issue reported
was during 18.11-rc1 that Mellanox fixed. Hopefully, we should catch any
such regressions
quickly in the future, since we now have a CI that runs periodically.

On a different note, I will reach out to Vivian and the s390 team.

Thanks
