Hi Paul,
Appreciate your response.
I able to resolve most of the issues, but now the compilation fails at the last
link step with this error:

I have not tried to build GNU Make on zOS.
You will have to investigate to see what the problem is; as you can see
from the info above, it appears that your compiler is not working
properly.
That is, the configure script builds a small test program with the
compiler you provided (ibm-clang), but the resulting binary does not
run properly.
Again as the message says, you will need to look at config.log and find
the error messages for more details.
