Description
Currently all ".l" files added to the project seem to be recognized as linker files, which is understandable but inconvenient as ".l" is used for (f)lex source files, too.
Error: invalid object file in line 15686 in library X:\gnucobol\cobc\scanner.l
Error: invalid object file in line 15686 in library X:\gnucobol\cobc\pplex.l
[Note: the line number seems to be strange...]
Workaround (as no "exclude from compilation" LADSoft/OrangeC#107 is available): remove these files from the project.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by adding the referenced .l lexer files, such as scanner.l and pplex.l, to an OCIDE project and observe how the source tree classifies them. Trace the project-file handling from that reproduction; done means .l lexer sources can remain in the project without being reported as invalid linker or object files.
