Sounds great that this has been already done for 20.10!

For us it is also important to get this into LTS version 20.04. Any
chance for this?

Title:
  [UBUNTU 20.10] Accept vector alignment hints on z13 (binutils)

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Fix Released
Status in binutils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On z13 we have that vector alignment hints are already accepted. This
  backport enables GAS to accept such hints not only for target z14 but
  also for z13. Since GCCs default target on Ubuntu is z13 for s390x, we
  could greatly benefit from such alignment hints. (note a separate
  bugzilla entry for GCC allowing to emit alignment hints for z13 will
  be opened shortly)

  This is a backport of upstreams commit 26b6ab7a0e.
