Forgive me.
I really don't mean to be whining about this.
Up to now, the only USS that I've had access to has been that of an
employer, so to use such for building things that I share publicly would
be kinda stealing from them.
Chicory needs really just one thing, and then I could pull-in the
"parent" makefiles and let-er-rip.
It needs a 'chmod 1777' directory named /usr/opt. My usual habit is to
let that physically be /var/opt (and then /usr/opt is a sym-link to it).
For USS, any given FLOSS package might also need the patches which Igor
and the gang on the "z/OS Open Tools" GitHub project have provided.
That will take time, but should eventually fall to automation. They've
got almost 200 packages, including RSYNC (THANK YOU!!), but I have not
found Gnu COBOL. Maybe Gnu COBOL "just works".

I'd be happy to run Gnu COBOL through it's paces on USS (as well as
any other FLOSS packages in the Chicory collection).
I just need a USS environment from which artifacts can be shared
publicly. (That is, not an employer's USS nor some other similarly
restricted USS.)
Got shell access where I can throw my SSH keys? Lemme know! Thanks.

I try to maintain working copies of Gnu COBOL in the Chicory collection.
Presently we have Gnu COBOL 3.2 for FreeBSD (64 bit), AMD/Intel Linux
(64-bit and 32-bit), and Z or S390 Linux (64-bit and 31-bit).
