[SV 62654] Support GNU Make on z/OS
Original patches provided by Igor Todorovski <itodorov@ca.ibm.com>
Reworked by Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>.
Thanks to IBM for providing a test system.
* NEWS: Announce support.
* AUTHORS: Ditto.
* README.zOS: Provide details on building GNU Make on z/OS.
* build.sh (get_mk_var): z/OS sh has a strange bug which causes it to
generate extra lines of output: rework the function to print output
as we compute it instead of collecting it into a variable, which
works around this bug.
* src/makeint.h: Declare MK_OS_ZOS if we're building for z/OS.
* src/arscan.c: Don't include <ar.h> on z/OS.
* src/job.c: We can't change environ in ASCII mode on z/OS.
* src/main.c: Ditto. Also we can't use pselect() on z/OS.
* src/posixos.c: pselect() seems to hang on z/OS: don't use it.
* tests/run_make_tests.pl: Handle different exit codes on z/OS.
* tests/test_driver.pl: Preserve some special z/OS env.vars.
Add special checks to output comparisons when on z/OS.
* tests/scripts/features/archives: Don't validate names. Don't
try to compile empty files as IBM compilers complain.
* tests/scripts/features/shell_assignment: Fix octal value of #.
* tests/scripts/features/temp_stdin: Don't print "term".
* tests/scripts/functions/shell: Handle shell exit codes.
* tests/scripts/targets/ONESHELL: Ditto.
* tests/scripts/targets/POSIX: sh -x prints differently.
* tests/scripts/variables/SHELL: Ditto.
