I'm not aware of any such work.

The only knowledge of z/OS of which I recall was added here:

 Teach compiler id about VisualAge -> XL rebranding
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=115ecc57

It simply distinguishes the zOS compiler from XL and VisualAge
compilers because both define __IBMC__ or __IBMCPP__.  However,
no platform or compiler information modules are available for
zOS.

I'm not familiar with z/OS other than in that it exists.
Porting to be hosted on there may be quite a bit of work if
it is not POSIX-like.  (A VMS port was done in the past but
has not been maintained.)  If cross compilers are available
to build for z/OS from another OS maybe that would be simpler.
