If porting to z Linux, your only issues are likely to be hardware issues. Don't assume endian-ness. Avoid unions of ints and chars. union { int foo; char bar[4]; } IamDangerous; If porting to z/OS, you have the same hardware issues plus the ASCII-EBCDIC issue plus compiler and library

Steve, Since the goal is to eventually port to zSeries, which compilers is available is important. In my experience, Not every z/OS shop have C compilers or applications. I believe that learning to develop with Eclipse ( eclipse.org) would be a great asset. You can use eclipse to develop
