I had to get rid of <err.h>, and replace err() with printf(). But
otherwise, here is the result:

I'm afraid I'm not able to switch the codepage. Some searching indicates
that this can be done in a shell with e.g.
LANG=En_us.IBM-037
LC_ALL=En_us.IBM-037
but that doesn't affect the output of your program. It's possible that
this needs to be set outside the z/OS Unix environment, in the actual
mainframe UI, and that eludes even me :>
You don't have enough confidence in etoa_l() to generate the table at
build time?

Don't forget that ISO 8859-1 is equivalent to the first 256 codepoints
of Unicode ;)
