A fork of gcc that can read EBCDIC has been available since about 1999.

I am using a version based on gcc 3.2.3

Microemacs has been ported for several years.

All of MVS 3.8J has been available since around 2000 which gives assemblers and a linker too.

But those don't operate on a FAT filesystem.

An assembler and linker and archiver that work on the FAT filesystem have been available for about 1 or 2 weeks.

That triggered the latest OS development.
