Are those two ld warnings “working as designed” or are they an indicator of something that should be fixed?
I _guess_ you use a pre-built package? Then please check back with the
package manager as this is from the build system, not from GnuCOBOL itself.
If you know what's "offending" that ld of yours you can also override
that via environment variables.
Also note that GC 3.1.2 is outdated and it is highly suggested to switch
to GnuCOBOL 3.2 (as newer package may also picked up newer defaults and
by that don't show the warnings).
In any case you want to add the --verbose option to see what GnuCOBOL
executes for each step. Use "-vv" to pass that verbose option to the
invoked external programs as well (-vvv is the maximum, but not
supported in all environments).
Apart from that you possible want to build GC32 from source, both to
have full control and be able to tweak the "default calls" before
building and to see if the warning "magically vanishes".
