Yes. I built an older Icon 9 with emx+gcc last fall, then this spring merged
the changes with the (then?) latest sources. Unfortunately, the emx+gcc
binaries create a very stiff (reboot) zombie on exit which I've wanted to get
rid of before making the update available. If you're interested in building
it, I'd be happy to provide you with a copy of my code; another pair of eyes
might be able to spot the bug more easily.
Also, now that I'm far more at ease using the VisualAge compiler than back
then, I want to try an icc build in the hoping of producing at least one clean
set of binaries for OS/2 Icon users.
