I haven't updated the prereqs for OS/2 after I did the support driver, so it's a little bit inaccurate. You must use the open watcom linker (wlink / wl) when building on OS/2. The IBM linker was uncooperative (crashes) and I'm switching gcc to use wlink anyway. You'll find a build of the linker at ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/wl-hll-r1.zip that includes support for the OS/2 HLL format. You also need to get GCC 3.3.5 CSD3 / LIBC 0.6.3 in order to use this. You'll find that as GCC-3.3.5-csd3.zip in the same directory (or in incoming/gcc/ if it hasn't been moved by the time you read this). Then SET EMXOMFLD_LINKER=wl.exe and SET EMXOMFLD_TYPE=WLINK and you're in business. (Note. if you get funny build errors after switching, try 'kmk -C src/VBox/HostDrivers rebuild' or just 'rm -Rf out'.) I'll be updating the OS/2 build instructions shortly.
