Hello,

This looks very similar to
  http://bugs.debian.org/672332
  http://old.nabble.com/swig-2.05%3A-swig%3A%3Agetslice-errors-to33739521.html#a33739521

The last succesful build of openturns on s390 used swig 2.0.4, so it
is very likely that this FTBFS is due to swig 2.0.5 and should be
fixed by swig 2.0.6 (thus Cc'ing swig2.0 maintainer)
