It will depend on what the MUMPS compiler generates. The only ones I know of
(fortunately) generate actual C code themselves, so you'd most likely have a
fairly easy job in getting it to run on Linux S/390. You mainly need to
compile the MUMPS compiler sources themselves on Linux S/390 (and resolve any
porting issues that might pop up with that), and then make sure that the C
output from the MUMPS compiler is again compiled with the C compiler on Linux
S/390. That may turn out to have a few thorny issues, in that it is not at all
inconceivable that the MUMPS compiler may produce C code that is not 100%
portable.
If that is the case, you're in for a bigger task (changing the MUMPS compiler
to generate more portable code).
If your MUMPS compiler does *not* generate C source code, then you have a nice
big compiler development project at hand.

Never underestimate a Mage with:
- the Intelligence to cast Magic Missile,
- the Constitution to survive the first hit, and
- the Dexterity to run fast enough to avoid being hit a second time.
