Actually, I don't think they've gone away at all. There's mention of gcc
ebcdic handling on the Linux S/390 pages
(http://linas.org/linux/i370.html) -- Linux on IBM mainframes -- and the IBM
AS/400 OS (OS/400) (very much alive) is also ebcdic based according to
http://www.as400.ibm.com/developer/porting/faq5.html . I saw notes on
porting the Apache web server to ebcdic-based environments as well.
