Hmm ... EBCDIC ... is that mandatory?  Because there are a pretty large
number of ASCII dependencies in PG, mostly arising from our support of
multibyte character sets, which are all expected to be ASCII supersets.
If there's not a way to run the server process in ASCII-land, you're
likely dead in the water.  I would not want to try to ferret out all
the dependencies.
