I am using GCC 3.3.5. Although it is not called "EMX" any more most of
the flags of the EMX/gcc compiler that os2-gcc.mk was intended for should
continue to work.
I don't really see anything wrong with the existing .mk files, CFLAGS in
builds/compiler/gcc.mk does contain -c already and I don't see where else
this would be overwritten.
