  I really don't know what kind of tools are available in that environment
but I guess you would need to extract the tarball, create a config file
(./vms/config.vms could be used as an example) since I doubt you can run
configure Unix shell commands, and assemble a script/batch compiling all
the modules you selected and building a linking archive out of them.
  Actually if you manage to make such script/config or provide cleaner
configure operation, provide them back, we can then add them to the existing
set. I don't think there is hardware related problems, libxml2 compiles
and works on s390 Linux without problems.
