Not sure what you mean. AFAIK OS390 == z/OS. If you mean linux 390,
then no, they are not abi compatible

I can do you one better. I am ended up rewriting the z/os port and am
currently the one maintaining it. There a quite a few limitations (I
only bothered implementing as much as we needed)
What exactly did you need it for? I'd be happy to help. (I've been
meaning to upstream the changes, but there have always been more
urgent matters on my plate)

Standard disclaimer: my opinions are my own, and in no way do I
represent IBM, etc. etc.
