​Yes, the UNIX "cob2" command is run on a UNIX shell (or BPXBATCH if you
want to for some reason) and it will compile COBOL code​. But the resultant
executable still uses LE. The only compiled HLL that I know of which does
not require LE is "Metal C". Well, REXX doesn't use LE either, but it's not
really compiled.
