That's very odd. With the following on my aarch64 box:

modified   include/fpu/softfloat-macros.h
@@ -637,6 +637,8 @@ static inline uint64_t estimateDiv128To64(uint64_t a0, 
uint64_t a1, uint64_t b)
 static inline uint64_t udiv_qrnnd(uint64_t *r, uint64_t n1,
                                   uint64_t n0, uint64_t d)
 {
+    static int iter = 0;
+    fprintf(stderr, "%s: %d\n", __func__, iter++);
 #if defined(__x86_64__)
     uint64_t q;
     asm("divq %4" : "=a"(q), "=d"(*r) : "0"(n0), "1"(n1), "rm"(d));

I get:

udiv_qrnnd: 0
udiv_qrnnd: 1
..
..<all the way to>
udiv_qrnnd: 99998
udiv_qrnnd: 99999

So I'm not sure what is different on s390
