Luckily, GNU make and a bunch of other handy tools are available for
z/OS. Here's a helpful article:

GNU make itself as well as a bunch of other useful stuff that will
make your experience on z/OS more tolerable (i.e., UNIX-like) can
be downloaded from here:

What Martin means by configuring the library is the first leg of

for yourself how this goes by building the library on a UNIX w/o RCB
(i.e. using GNU makefiles).
I am pretty sure I know from Tim or John that the reason why we're using
a hardcoded config header is that zOS is missing a shell and the
required utilities.
If that's the case we need to put together an infrastructure that
will let us do it automatically. It's almost impossible to do it
right by hand.
