"Supported", yes, but very likely only useful for zLinux binaries. The "supported file formats" on the url below only list "PE, ELF, Mach-O" as supported formats. z/OS executable formats (load module, program object) are not listed at all. Scroll down to the product version comparison table to see the supported formats.
