Why no port for Linux on System Z

    I've been looking around, and I've been unable to find a working build for Linux on System Z anywhere. To make matters worse, my only developement environments are SLES10 (64-bit), and I've been unable to overcome the issues of getting the source to compile as 31-bit on the 64-bit environment. Any advice?

    I'd be willing to help debug, if that helps.

      I hate to reply to my own post, but here I am... I managed to get ooRexx 3.2.0 to compile on a SLES9 (31-bit) system by first ensuring that I set CFLAGS=-m31, and then changing the Makefile to change -O2 to -O0.

      If I didn't do these to things, I'd only get as far as "rexx -i" which would get a segmentation fault.

      I hope this helps someone.
