http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/icu/readme.html#HowToBuildUNIX says Building International Components for Unicode on UNIX requires: * A C++ compiler installed on the target machine (for example: gcc, * CC, xlC_r, aCC, cxx, etc...). * An ANSI C compiler installed on the target machine (for example: cc). * A recent version of GNU make (3.77+). * For a list of z/OS tools please view the z/OS build * section of this document for further details.
