Why don't you install the x3270 Debian package.  This will save you all
the trouble of compiling it.

Package: x3270
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: non-free/x11
Installed-Size: 556
Maintainer: Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>
Version: 3.1.1.7-3
Depends: libc6, xlib6g (>= 3.3-5)
Conffiles:
 /etc/ibm_hosts a61e549a74db3934aa0700625f30daa3
Description: X11 program for telnet sessions to IBM mainframes
 x3270 opens a telnet connection to an IBM mainframe host in an X11
 window. The window created by x3270 can use its own font for
 displaying characters, so it is a fairly accurate representation
 of an IBM 3278 or 3279.

For cut and paste under X you just select with the left mouse button
and paste with the middle(or left and right for 2 button mice).
