I am attempting to get the subversion client running on z/OS. I am starting
with svn 1.5.6 because I don't want to port SQLite first, at least not until
I have a working "svn co". autogen.sh, configure, and make run to
completion after some build hacks. Then make install dies with:

FSUM8226 make: Error code 8
With the following patch, the situation improves and I can read the error
messages without looking at EBCDIC code point charts.
subversion/svnversion/svnversion . /repos/svn/trunk >
/u/USER193/svn/cvs-1.5.6/subversion-1.5.6/built/include/subversion-1/svn-revision.txt
svn: Valid UTF-8 data
(hex: 2e 61 4b)
followed by invalid UTF-8 sequence
(hex: a2 a5 95 61)
FSUM8226 make: Error code 8
The error messages are in the native code page to start with, so running
them through a UTF-8 -> native conversion doesn't do anything helpful.
I have a handful of other patches that get subversion 1.5.6 to where
svnversion and "svn help [subcommand]" work properly. I'm pretty confident
that I can take it beyond that, but I want to start posting patches one baby
step at a time.
Regards,
Greg
