I'm taking this as opportunity to notify you about the upcoming GCC 15.2 release (I expect a release candidate not earlier than end of July). How do you want to go with maintaining Cobol on the GCC 15 branch? There is IMO the opportunity to sync what was done on trunk to the branch. I can't really tell whether that is, at this point, significant improvement on the usability compared to what is in GCC 15.1, so I'm not sure if it is worth it. Before considering backporting of changes I'd give people the chance to discover any build issues on the development trunk of course.
