 Gforth hasn't been tested with EMX, using EMX will require some changes in  OS/2:

   If you don't want to install the DJGPP or EMX package (quite large),

   Gforth, you may need GNU m4, too. Because DJGPP provides use of long
   filenames under Windows 95, you should unpack the gforth package with
   a Windows-95-aware archiver (those from DJGPP or the Cygnus
   Win32-package come in mind), because otherwise gforth will not find
   the necessary files. With MS-DOS versions prior 7.0 or DR-DOS, these
   names are cut due to the 8.3 rule. This might confuse DJGPP 2.0's
   make, you could use DJGPP 1.x's make instead. Gforth 0.2.0 hasn't been
   compiled with a MS-DOS prior 7.0.
   
   Compiling under DOS or OS/2 has a number of quirks, and if it doesn't
   compile out of the box, you should know what you do. I therefore
   discourage unexperienced users to compile gforth themselfes. There's a
   binary package for it anyway.
