As shipped EMX/GNU C does not include PM libraries.  However, if you purchase
the IBM Developer's Toolkit, you should be able to make PM programs with
GNU (I haven't tested this thoroughly, but the examples from Petzold's
book run fine if you include the IBM header files/libraries).  The code
from the current version of EMX/GNU C is a bit bloated, but what do you
expect for free?
