what about the runtime libraries for those cobols? i worked on PL/I
libraries and they have many similar features to cobol (as pl/i was a
genetic monster of cobol/algol/fortran). stuff such as isam record i/o,
picture variables, decimal math, etc are needed for a full cobol

You don't gain anything, when you use PMCs for native processor
registers. As this c

There's a GPL COBOL compiler, TinyCOBOL.
