Build wireguard-linux-compat on SLES15 (s390x)

[Faustin Lammler]

Hi!

I am trying to compile wireguard-linux-compat on SLES15 (s390x) without
success. Maybe I should try to install it directly from packages but I
am not expert with SLES and I did not find how so far.

I managed to install wireguard-tools but the kernel does not provide
the wireguard module, see bellow:
| $ uname -r
| 5.3.18-24.83-default
| $ lsmod | grep wireguard
| $ sudo wg-quick up /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
| [#] ip link add wg0 type wireguard
| Error: Unknown device type.
| Unable to access interface: Protocol not supported
| [#] ip link delete dev wg0
| Cannot find device "wg0"

Here is the build error:
| $ cd /tmp && git clone https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux-compat
| $ make -C wireguard-linux-compat/src -j$(nproc)

Any help would be really appreciated.
