Ok, this helps to get rid of the warnings, thus feel free to add:

Tested-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

However, the error still persists. I now had a closer look by running the 
test with "qemu-s390x" on my z15 machine directly, and all tests are 
failing! The problem happens with both, gcc v11.2.1 and clang v13.0.1. The 
problem goes away (i.e. test works fine) if I compile the code with -O1 
instead of -O3, or if I use GCC v8.5 instead. I'll try to find out more, but 
as a temporary workaround, we could also switch to -O1 instead of -O3.
