Summary: zOS make compile fails

Initial Comment:
Building expat on zOS 1.4W. I set the following environment variables for ./configure (without LD it failed):

LD=c89
CC=c89

I then had to change all instances of the following in ./configure to make it work (C compiler will not accept .cc extension):

ac_ext=cc changed to ac_ext=c

Then 'make' failed as follows. How do I change libtool to fix this?

make
/bin/sh ./libtool --silent --mode=compile c89 -I./lib -I. -g  -DHAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H -o lib/xmlparse.lo -c lib/xmlparse.c
FSUM3008 Specify a file with the correct suffix (.c, .i, .s, .o, .x, .p, .I, or 
.a), or a corresponding data set name, instead of -o.
make: *** [lib/xmlparse.lo] Error 1

Message:
No, that error stopped me cold. I need to remove the '-o' command line
argument and the generated libtool is impossible to understand (at least
for me).

c89 is the name of the IBM ANSI C/C++ compiler on zOS. There is nothing
'behind' it.

Message:
John, have you tried renaming occurences of ".lo" (or "lo" but I guess
that's too general) within related files?  What compiler is running behind
"c89"?
