We will not reach gcc 7, so we stick to gcc 6 for the v3.7 release.

Jakub or Shiz, any update on this?

this is making progress. Carlo made some good work with setup-disk that
I need to review.

Carlo, do you know what is left to do with setup-disk? (in addition to
testing)

The only thing we need have working is rethinkdb for now. The other
things not working for s390x can probably just be disabled for now.

When it comes to rethinkdb, we need to resolve conflict for the ppc64le
patch and s390x rebase for rethinkdb 2.3.6. I wish IBM could help us
with that, but I think we are stuck in between the ppc64le team and
s390x team.

Roberto is making progress here. I think we are not too far from
putting it into production.
