Matt, firstly fix your source program so it has a terminating
new line.
Secondly, the linker warning is fixed in the 0.33 prerelease
available here :
http://www.sim-basis.de/open-cobol-0.33.tar.gz
(The problem was fixed some time ago and was caused by
 not specifying PIC options when producing a module).

Note using this, when you compile without either the
"-x" or "-m" option (see "cobc --help"), you get a warning
telling you to specify one of these. The default, at the moment,
is still to create an executable. This WILL change before the
0.33 official release where we will default to creating a module.
I wanted to give people time to possibly change any compile
scripts that produce executables.
As stated many times, I recommend that ALL application
programs be compiled as modules ("-m") and the main
programs executed with "cobcrun PROG".
(Sergey, Jose - There is still the problem of upper/lower
 case P-ID/ENTRY entry points and P-ID not equal source name.
 Some non-activated code for this is in place.)
