    Also, I thought most COBOL systems didn't bother with actual
    compilation, but rather just targeted a cobol vm, and did it that way.

This is news to me!  Certainly, the original COBOL compilers for the
IBM mainframes always generated machine code directly.  I know that
both major COBOL compilers for the x86 did as well.  Indeed, if I
remember correctly, one of them was the only compiler to ever generate
*all* x86 instructions from some code sequence.
