This commit improves COBOL compilation performance by reducing middle-end processing time. It consolidates multiple calls to libgcobol into a single call and passes parameters in a structure, rather than individually. Additionally, it fixes the behavior of -fstatic-call and -fno-static-call options and moves a warning message to runtime.
