Some more questions:

Will you provide source code for the EMX tools? 
Will they be freely distributable under a GPL like license? 
Will people be permitted to sell and support these tools as in the GPL?
Will you provide a debugger that can handle 'normal' executables and DLL's?

I think these are the main things that need to be done to make the two
ports identical. The licensing issues are important to those of us who
wish to maintain our own tools, which is the essence of GNU.

If the answer to all of the above is yes, am I wasting my time working
on future versions of Michaels work?
