OK. First think and then answer.

All these machines are LPARs.

s390p* are located on a EC12

s390zp* are located on a z13 (the successor of the EC12 generation)

The architecture level set we have is for z196 (predecessor of EC12).
And the default compiler flags point to z196.

But..... if a package has its own processor type detection and compiles on a
z13 the code (if later used in a different package) may fail to execute on a
EC12.
