There seems to be in fact two possibilities for a GNAT port to OS/390
(the new correct name today of MVS, sorry for the confusion):
1. A port to OS/390 itself.
2. A port to "OS/390 UNIX System Services" (see
http://www2.s390.ibm.com/oe/index.html). It seems to be an Unix layer
added on top of OS/390.
The second solution should hopefully be easier than the first one. Which
one would you qualify as "non trivial"?
