Sure, I do anything to help. However, I am missing some details on the z/OS linkage process, even without libtool I could not find a proper way to create a shared object (or dll which is the right name at this platform). If nobody ported libtool to this platform, I will try to figure out how to do this by-hand first.
Thanks! Alon.
