It looks like the retaddr value is always acquired via the GETPC macro,
which does a __builtin_return_address(0). Could you check that
 - Gcc's __builtin_return_address isn't just broken
 - If the compiler is ok, test if twiddling the bit in the GETPC macro
   works for s390. I suspect this catches more instances of the problem
   and might even explain the odd breakage you saw.
