RP/TUX 9.1 - [CERT] Build COBOL application failed with IBM COBOL compiler version 2 on AIX5.3 (Doc ID 778209.1)

Goal

DESCRIPTION: 
Because IBM COBOL compiler has many different compiler options with Micro Focus, buildclient/buildserver cannot build COBOL program directly on AIX 5.3. 

Reduce $TUXDIR/bin/cobcc to the simplest, like this:
   set -x
   eval cob2 $*

and run :
   buildclient -C -o hello -f hello.cbl

Here is the output:
buildclient -C -o hello -f hello.cbl
+ eval cob2 -I/path/to/directory/tuxedo9.1/include -o hello -qstaticinline -qrtti=all
-L/path/to/directory/tuxedo9.1/lib hello.cbl -lcobatmi -brtl /path/to/directory/tuxedo9.1/lib/tpinit.o -ltux -lbuft
-lfml -lfml32 -lengine -lpthread
+ cob2 -I/path/to/directory/tuxedo9.1/include -o hello -qstaticinline -qrtti=all -L/path/to/directory/tuxedo9.1/lib
hello.cbl -lcobatmi -brtl /path/to/directory/tuxedo9.1/lib/tpinit.o -ltux -lbuft -lfml -lfml32 -lengine -lpthread

-L${TUXDIR}/lib hello.cbl   -lcobatmi  -brtl $TUXDIR/lib/tpinit.o  -ltux -lbuft  -lfml -lfml32 -lengine  -lpthread 

buildclient still add option '-qstaticinline -qrtti=all' to cob2, which can't be understood by IBM COBOL compiler.

Change the command to:
cob2 -I/path/to/directory/tuxedo9.1/include -L${TUXDIR}/lib -o hello hello.cbl $TUXDIR/lib/tpinit.o -ltux -lbuft 
-lfml -lfml32 -lengine  -lpthread -lcobatmi

delete option '-qstaticinline -qrtti=all', then the build hello.cbl successfully.

This is just a very simple example. If the application is more complex, It is very hard to use current buildclient/buildserver to build COBOL application.

 
CONFIGURATION:
AIX 5.3
