I posted a claim that you had to use the real-mode gcc under OS/2.  That used
to be true, but apparently it got fixed either by a djgpp upgrade or by the
upgrade from OS/2 2.11 to Warp.  The old behavior was crashes after about 14
compiles, but I just did around 100 without problems.  (Just to make
identifying what fixed it a little harder, I also set video_mode_restriction
to cga to give a 720KB window so OPUS MAKE doesn't have to swap itself out
before each compile, and I upped the DPMI memory to 24MB; it was probably 8
or 16 before.)
