Except that it looks like the M compiler (MUMPS compiler) is actually a compiler for the x86. This won't be useful on a S/390. Retargeting a compiler is hard work. Too bad this wasn't created as part of the GNU compiler suite.

At worst, you will probably have to fix little-endian assumptions; you're in luck in that the word size will not change. So mostly it'll be a matter of making sure that your data type definitions match up, and then finding and eliminating places where it's assumed data is stored in little-endian rather than big-endian byte order. In any case, it should be far short of a complete rewrite. Adam
