Yes, but not in a dos-box under OS/2. emx.exe will be used under dos; emx.dll
will be used under OS/2. (There are more options with emx 0.8e.)

Run EMX/gcc under OS/2. MAKE SURE that the LIBPATH statement in config.sys
points to the location of the DLL (often c:\emx\dll). You must re-boot after
setting the LIBPATH in config.sys.
