@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 not really usable. The repo also provides several aarch64 makefiles. There is one including Ada for aarch64, but before building this, you need to build a bootstrap compiler. All makefiles are there and usually do work without an issue, but some snapshots can be in a very bad shape and may result in faulty compiler, but that happens very rarely. And 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.
