Yes there is now a ported version of a recent GCC that runs on z/VM (or more precisely on CMS); it is distributed as part of the so-called VM/370 "sixpack" distribution, available from here:
http://vm370.31bits.net/beta/ It includes both a "traditional" runtime library (PDPCLIB) and a "native CMS" runtime library (GCCLIB). This distribution is meant to be run under the S/370 emulator Hercules (http://www.hercules-390.org/). If you don't want to mess with downloading and installing Hercules and the "sixpack" just to get a VM GCC compiler, drop me a note and I will make the compiler and runtime material available for download in a VMARC file. Have a good one. DJ P.S. BTW The base operating system is IBM's VM/370 Release 6 operating system, the last unlicensed version of VM/370, so there are no legal issues with its distribution.
