OS/2 (now also eCS), as Jacob has kindly added.

: I do not consider either SMP or journaled file systems to be relevant,

Yes, true (only, linking is pretty fast :-).  Now the docs for
creating and using DLLs with gcc on OS/2 can be found in the
standard EMX distribution, which is required for GNAT. The
GNAT 3.13p on Windows documentation describes similar issues
for Windows, and the relevant sections appear not to be present
in other 3.13p docs.

(I was overreacting to the rule "allways name your OS
and compiler" ;.)

Georg

P.S.: Hm. Decus, isn't that VMS related? I wonder if this is
one more OS, with supporting Ada compilers, from which one can
learn a lot? (The hobbyist license beeing affordable, the hardware
probably not...)
