We have current source for that one load module.  The rest of the COBOL compiler comes from the DLIBs on OS360/MFT.  I don't think anyone has built any of the MFT compilers from source we have on hand.

It may be like IFOX in that the DLIBs were updated while the source became backleveled.

One of my future goals is to not include anything in TK that we don't have source for reproducing the shipped executables, but that has to wait for another TK version.
