Yes, I backported code from trunk to GC2.2, and building is fine so far.
Sorry I was working on an older version. I didn't notice that this issue was fixed in trunk.

I did it! Packages for 3.0 are here: https://launchpad.net/~lud-janvier/+archive/ubuntu/gnucobol-unstable (for Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic only) comments welcome
configuration directory can't be modified [patch]
No you're not. You have to: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libcob4-dev:i386 Newer releases of Debian/Ubuntu are not multiarch (i386/amd64) anymore, so I don't think 32b should be required on 64b packages.
