"Systems Programming C" (SPC) has been available as part of the regular IBM C compiler for a long time now. You give up access to all LE functions and limit yourself to a defined subset of C library functions. The startup code is not dynamic and requires static links (so does LE startup code...), but SPC is quite functional for some purposes.
