[PATCH v2 0/2] This PR enables a successful git build on z/OS.

["Haritha via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

Since the z/OS linker does not support searching dynamic libraries, and the
current setting of CC_LD_DYNPATH results in a directory to be supplied to
the link step with no option as the suffix, it causes a linker error because
the z/OS LD linker does not accept directories as input. Therefore, we
workaround this by adding the -L option. And, Introduced z/OS (OS/390) as a
platform in config.mak.uname
