@people who like to build this: You need a beefy machine. Even on a 32 core Threadripper this takes quite a while. Also keep in mind, Rust is highly experimental and currently is far from being usable, but Cobol works flawlessly. The repo also provides an aarch64 makefile, only missing the lib32 and Ada stuff. But don't even think about building this on a RPi. Think about a big ARM machine, think 32+ cores.

Yeah, the Cobol packages are named differently because I added Cobol right after it was upstreamed, long before Arch itself adopted it. I will update it, but the name inconsistencies are a bid odd. Using the same name scheme gcc-m2 should also be named gcc-gm2.

gcc-cobol-snapshot should be rename to gcc-gcobol-snapshot to be consistent with the official repository

add --disable-bootstrap as a parameter speeds up the package build, although it increases the risk of problems.

build fails. You have to add cargo as a dependency.
