Big endian architectures are not officially supported by upstream according to https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss/issues/2139

> I don't think we explicitly support big endian platforms (correct me if I'm wrong). As it turns out, the TSS does not only build and run on big endian machines - apparently, we are packaged for such platforms, as well. At least for me, that was a surprise.

Furthermore, Debian and upstream are actively working on a solution for the big endian failures. So I think we should work around this FTBFS until it got properly fixed upstream. Maybe by disabling the broken FAPI &
tcti-spi-helper functionality.

Edit: Or maybe the s390x binaries should be dropped all together, until this is resolved?

I added a merge-proposal to drop FAPI & tcti-spi-helper functionality (and binary packages) on s390x. Test build available here: https://launchpad.net/~slyon/+archive/ubuntu/testing/+sourcepub/15073119/+listing-archive-extra
