The IBM "s390" port does not have support for non-GNU/Linux
systems (e.g., MVS aka OS/390 aka zOS) or old architectures. Not only has
it not been committed to the CVS repository, but it is completely separate
from all of the functionality in the current "i370" port. It is *NOT* a
replacement for GCC/i370 until the two are completely merge.

I beleve that Dave Pitts's EBCDIC<->ASCII table in the i370 port
is the correct one for OS/390.
