what do you mean? As a compiler for Windows programs? Nope, Windows is
only 16 bit, and GCC doensn't support such limited systems. 
As a 32 bit program? Shure, but only if the EMX DOS extender supports DPMI
(I think it might). I think with a memory manager like QEMM, you should
be able to get EMX programs under DOS/Windows.
