I remember building libxml on OMVS (on z/OS 1.8?) quite some time ago,
and this mostly working. I do remember making some portability changes,
possibly to things like the IS_SPACE stuff Roumen mentions below.
I'm pretty sure OMVS had iconv, but maybe the encoding names it supports
do not include "ebcdic" (after all "ebcdic" is ambiguous - there are
several EBCDIC codepages).
Try "iconv -l" to get a list of valid encoding names.
Based on http://itc.virginia.edu/mss/OpenSSH.html it looks like you may
have more luck specifying "IBM-1047" as encoding name.
