I sure hope so! I think it may divert people's efforts if two compilers
need to be supported.

So far I think EMX is more stable and faster (libraries). But GCC has better
OS/2 support: system calls, object files etc.

I have heard these areas need work:
	A multi-thread compatible library
	more native OS/2 support
	A DLL for all of the C/C++ libraries (so calling printf doesn't link
	in 30kb of code, where a simple DLL call would reduce code size)
	etc.
	More UNIX features, to make up for OS/2 deficiencies
	anything else?

I think people are working on all this. My guess is EMX will borrow
stuff from GCC, and EMX will be the "official" GNU CC for OS/2.
