I think "any C compiler, including the freely available
one - gccmvs, is a prerequisite" is not onerous.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying
that supporting RECFM=F/V/U is a flaw, and that
instead all C ports should be using USS?

If so, it is only GCCMVS that supports traditional
datasets. The other port is here:

http://www.cozx.com/~dpitts/gcc.html

This site has source and pre-built versions of GCC compiler for the IBM z/OS 
Unix Systems Services (USS), OpenEdition, environment. The latest compiler was 
compiled under z/OS USS 1.1.

Is that what you're considering to be non-flawed?
