This has been tested by me rather well and I found no problems besides
the bugs that already were in GNAT v3.05. Just a minor point is that
compiling a generic package produces the error "no 386 instruction 'no'".

`` Has someone tried this, or am I going to have to be the pioneer? ''

No, you have not. I'm feeling like being the pioneer myself. ;-)
BTW. you might be interested in using my AdaPM package that is specifically
aimed at using GNAT for OS/2 and has an easy installation. You can get
the package from http://wwwedu.cs.utwente.nl/~boschg/AdaPM305.exe. Make
sure your webbrowser saves this binary file to disk.  This is a
self-extracting archive, which you can also extract yourself using
unzip. Please read the README before installing ;-) The EMX level of
the package is emx 0.c, so you might have to re-install the fix 
after installing. GNAT itself does work well without the fix however.
