No, Jan!  Arnel wanted to *cross-compile*, not *port*!!

Here's what I'd do:

  o	get the OS/2 patches for gcc by Eberhard Mattes
  o     apply them to the gcc sources
  o	build a cross compiler as explained in the INSTALL docs
  o	build an OS/2 ld from the Mattes sources
  o	copy the OS/2 emx library stubs to your Unix system

You're set!  In addition, since emx uses the bsd a.out object file
format [correct me if I'm wrong] you could also use a "regular" Intel
cross compiler if you configure it for a.out.


Hope this helps -- Volker
