Looks like someone beat you to it.

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/features/unix/tools/

I'm pretty sure the best way to go is leave the code in ASCII.

There's little about z/OS that requires EBCDIC.
You would of course want to edit EBCDIC datasets but that's
more a matter of translating the data.

I haven't looked at the port I don't know if someone has done that
or not.
