Whenever I want to find UNIX programs, I just do a word search on packages.gentoo.org. None of it's distro specific becuse gentoo builds everything from scratch in the first place. Looking for cobol found OpenCobol and TinyCobol.

These look much easier to build than cobolforgcc. You don't need the entire effing GCC source tree. OpenCobol just needs libtool and gmp, and tinycobol only needs glib.
