I asked and it was done deliberately. See glibc 2.26 NEWS under
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting
compatibility.
For the functionality we needed it was always necessary to include the
kernel asm/ptrace.h also (and it still is with 2.26) on s390. The only
regression (for us) is that the order of the includes needs to be
sys/ptrace.h first, then asm/ptrace.h. I double checked that the
functionality needed still works (the run-backtrace-native.sh testcase
works on both old s390 and s390x and new glibc s390x versions).
Cheers,
