Sorry, I also don't have any good ideas here. We could maybe copy the libs 
from the SLOF repository over into the s390-ccw folder, but that's kind of 
ugly, too (there aren't many updates in SLOF anymore, so it wouldn't at 
least hurt too much from a synchronization point of view) ... CC:-ing 
qemu-s390x mailing list, maybe somebody else there has a better idea.
