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>

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).
