One may try to build that under z/OS USS and it should work (recently somebody

To port R to z/OS Unix you will need a Fortran compiler. Although the
base language is written in C lots of R modules are written in Fortran.

Subject: R statistical language.
I wonder if a z/OS port of the following language would be of
interest. It might be an interesting way to get some performance
information for those of us who cannot afford SAS.

But then again, probably not, because it does not have the ability to
read SMF data built in to it. And it doesn't run on z/OS. It does run
on both Linux and Windows. But, unlike SAS on Linux/Windows, it cannot
direct read z/OS data via ftp, as best as I can see.
But in the off chance somebody is interested:
