Yes, that is intentional. gcobol is the compiler driver, as you know.
gcobc is a shell script that emulates GnuCOBOL's cobc
executable. It is being used to facilitate compatibility with
GnuCOBOL.
I see it's not documented. There is quite extensive documentation for
it in a directory we chose not to supply among our patches, for
simplicity. I will look into adapting that page,
gcc/cobol/scripts/rocky8/migration-guide.1
to something more specific to gcobc.

There may be something missing somewhere higher up. I had to add the man3
directory to the install machinery. I will investigate.
