From the g++ FAQ:

   There are two different ports of gcc to OS/2, the so-called EMX port
(which also runs on MS-DOS), and a port called "gcc/2".  The EMX port's
C library attempts to provide a Unix-like environment; gcc/2 uses a
rather buggy port of the BSD libc.  For more information ask around on
"comp.os.os2.programmer.misc".

   The EMX port is available by FTP from

     ftp.uni-stuttgart.de(129.69.1.12) in /pub/systems/os2/emx-0.8h
     src.doc.ic.ac.uk(146.169.2.1) in /pub/packages/os2/2_x/unix/gnu/emx08h
     ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de(131.159.0.198) in
             /pub/comp/os/os2/devtools/emx+gcc
