Package open-cobol not working for me

[Eric Gallager]

Maybe I'll install clang 3.4 and 3.5 once I have some spare cycles; my
computer just finished rebuilding llvm 3.3 and gcc 4.7 and 4.8 due to the
recent updates, and those all took a long time on their own... Anyways,
doing the latter of the things you suggested, I seem to have managed to
remove the flag from cobc-config, so I will attach a patch once I am done...
