I developed this natively (without cross-compilation or emulation,
just KVM), but I just gave the following a try on x86_64 and had some
success:

$ make LLVM=1 ARCH=s390 O=../linux-build-s390x-cross CC=clang-18
LD=s390x-linux-gnu-ld OBJCOPY=s390x-linux-gnu-objcopy debug_defconfig

$ make LLVM=1 ARCH=s390 O=../linux-build-s390x-cross CC=clang-18
LD=s390x-linux-gnu-ld OBJCOPY=s390x-linux-gnu-objcopy menuconfig

$ make LLVM=1 ARCH=s390 O=../linux-build-s390x-cross CC=clang-18
LD=s390x-linux-gnu-ld OBJCOPY=s390x-linux-gnu-objcopy -j24

$ qemu-system-s390x -M accel=tcg -smp 2 -m 4G -kernel ../linux-build-
s390x-cross/arch/s390/boot/bzImage -nographic -append 'root=/dev/vda1
rw console=ttyS1 nokaslr earlyprintk cio_ignore=all kmsan.panic=1' -
object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 -device virtio-rng-
ccw,rng=rng0

It's also possible to get a free s390 machine at [1].
