	GCC for z/OS Unix System Services uses the system assembler and
linker to build other applications and to build itself.  GNU Binutils does
not exist for z/OS to provide a Free Software cross-environment.  The only
cross-environment is the commercial Dignus product.

	Developers use gcc-i370 both natively on z/OS and with the Dignus
System/ASM cross-assembler environment.
