Hi,

Would there be any interest in adding an object module generator to 
OpenCOBOL?
    
      

Since gdb does not understand COBOL, this may be a moot suggestion. It's 
certainly possible to teach gdb about COBOL, but would the FSF be 
interested in that?
  
    

I don't know about the FSF, but I suspect the OpenCOBOL development and 
advocacy groups would be interested.

  

OK, but it would mean a fork. To teach gdb about COBOL requires changing the gdb code. I was under the impression that there was an FSF COBOL. I was wrong.
