I look at 'sg245944.pdf' (google it). In chapter 11 exist command to
build Emacs version 19.34:

$ export $A2E=”-o from=ISO8859-1,to=IBM-1047"
$ mkdir emacs
$ cd emacs
$ pax -rf /u/egont/emacs-19_34_os390_tar.Z $A2E

$ export INSTALLDIR=’/usr/local’
$ ./configure i390-ibm-omvs --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=no \
--prefix=$INSTALLDIR
$ make install

Quoter from "11.6  Porting emacs to OS/390":

  This version of emacs has been ported by MKS
   Software in cooperation with IBM. We don’t have
   any information about what has been changed and
   how difficult it was to port the package to
   OS/390. We are also not aware if MKS will port
   future releases or if the changes will be
   integrated into the mainline of the code. Please
   report your successful installation or any kind of
   problems to MKS to make them aware that emacs is
   used on this platform.
