Lets rephrase - you're being asked your opinion on whether $A will work with
$B when you have no idea what $B is.

You don't know, so you're asking us.

What exactly were you expecting?

The only answer you'll get is maybe or maybe not - it depends.

Actually, some of the respondents are talking nonsense - its nothing to do
with Linux compatability, and while a Z-series can run Linux, it doesn't
have to. The key determinant is whether it can support a POSIX environment
with a ANSI C compiler, flex, bison and make.
