Download either the EMX/GCC or GCC/2 compilers from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.
Note that these are big!  EMX/GCC seems to be the more powerful (and
popular) of the two these days.  Note also that to write PM code,
IBM's devloper's Toolkit/2 will be very useful, if not necessary.

The compilers include the headers and libraries you need for PM code,
and OS/2 comes with RC.EXE, LINK386.EXE, and the icon editor, but the
toolkit also gives you the font editor, dialog box editor, IPFC (help
file compiler), a few other useful utilities, lots of on-line
documentation, and lots of examples.

DJGPP is an extended DOS port of GCC.  The two packages I quoted are
native 32-bit ports of it.  Note that none of these can produce 16-bit
code, so 16-bit executables (OS/2 1.x and bound-for-DOS code) will not
be produceable with either of these.
