No C compilers here. There was one for a short time at work, but it was
killed by a manager who went on a cost saving spree to try to save his
job. We lost a lot of software. He still lost his job. I'd go for the
Dignus compiler on my home system to cross compile, but I don't think
it's legal to download the z/OS header files to my home machine. And
I've not got much "excess" money right now due to a bad illness draining
my accounts.
