For testing cross builds on the host, please refer to the "Cross-compilation
toolchains and C code" section below.

If you want to do native testing but do not have your own s390x
machine, there are several options how to get access to one:

* The [IBM LinuxONE Community Cloud][cloud-community] provides a
self-service portal where you can create s390x virtual machine
instances. These are intended for temporary use (limited to 120 days).

* The [IBM LinuxONE Open Source Cloud][cloud-opensource] provides
permanent access to s390x machines. This requires approval by IBM,
which will normally be granted if you're planning to use the machine
to work on an open-source project that is relevant to the IBM Z
ecosystem - the Rust compiler would certainly qualify.
