There is an immediate problem when attempting to follow an instruction like:-

  -- Apply patches (gcc-281.dif) from the src directory

... does this simply mean using the source straight from GNU, ie. :-

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-2.8.1.tar.gz


or do I need to find and apply some EMX patches first to incorporate OS/2
enhancements?

And if so, which patches?

Any hints/tips, much appreciated...
