You might try using a different make program.  I use dmake which does not
require a copy of GO32.

In addition, you might want to look into using JED.  It is _much_ smaller
and faster than Emacs while providing a close emacs emulation.  It does not
understand elisp but it is extensible in a C-like language.  It also
performs color syntax highlighting in C, FORTRAN, and TeX modes.  Recently,
someone posted an AUC-TeX mode for JED on comp.editors and comp.text.tex.
That should give you some indication of its extensibility and close
emulation of emacs.

The latest version is 0.97-7b.  It is available only from
amy.tch.harvard.edu in pub/jed.  It runs under DOS (Borland BCC and DJGPP),
VMS, Unix, and OS2 (as well as X).  It performs color syntax highlighting on
all of those systems (even across a dialup line using, e.g., MS-Kermit).
