I'm working on continuing to port perl5 to z/OS. One test that is failing is beyond my knowledge level. The Dynaloader module has a function dl_findfile() which looks for libraries in the path. It is expecting to find libc at least, but is finding nothing.

This test does not work on several platforms, even some Unix-like ones, and my guess is it doesn't work on z/OS either. But I am hoping someone can give me more information.

One of the comments in the perl source says:
    # On OS/390, libc.a doesn't really hold anything at all,
        
And that makes me think that looking for it (and perhaps any Unix-y library) is futile.
