Yes. At the moment I don't recall how, but several years back
I fetched a document on how to do it. The OS/2 port of GNAT
is based on the emx port of gcc to OS/2. I would cultivate
some emx sources, and I'm sure you'll find the answer there.

If you remain luckless for too long, repost and I'll try to
dig up the document. Since it's several years old you're
probably better off getting fresh information. There have
been a few emx releases since I got the instructions, so
they're probably dated.
