Then consider creating a bug report for your C compiler/runtime used
there as it stores two different values in the same time in a

static cob_field;

which should get the same value during recursive access but doesn't
(which is the reason the test fails in all other environments)...

This file and others aren't part of the VCS any more. According to the
HACKING file (which is referenced in the README for VCS checkouts) you
should do

svn checkout
build_aux/bootstrap
./configure   # ....

Please check README and HACKING and suggest a better wording if necessary.

Thank you,
