I do not know the right answer too
Maurilio, this is the right way ?

Yes, hbpp is not created due to "ld.exe: emxbind failed"

You are correct, at least in OS/2-gcc335 it does not raise these warnings
It should be cleaned in OS/2 in particular or all platforms ? I still do
not know if these warnings happen in Linux/gcc43x

Yes I am "interested in creating OpenWatcom OS2 Harbour port"
I have heard about OpenWatcom on OS/2 long time ago and collected some
packages, trying to test cross-platform builds for Harbour
In middle August 2008 I installed (for Harbour 1.0):
Open Watcom C/C++ Version 1.7
and surprisely is a great package:
IDE, SourceBrowse, Profiler, Debugger, ...
in 164 Mbytes directory
But I do not know how to use it :-)
I was searching in harbour\config and found:
harbour\config\dos\owatcom.cf
harbour\config\linux\owatcom.cf
harbour\config\w32\owatcom.cf
harbour\config\dos\watcom.cf
harbour\config\w32\watcom.cf
with different content and not for OS/2, and a merge of them was unuseful
So if you can prepare owatcom.cf for OS/2 and / or cross building let me
know to test it
I do not send request in August for not disturb Harbour developers works

Clarifications:
- I do not know C or anything related
I should not touch C code
Recently ALinares helped me to found a problem with Harbour/C and I
have it pending to report to Harbour group
- For Harbour, I am:
Builder, tester, prg level developer, end user
and Maurilio is:
Builder, tester, prg level developer, end user, C level developer,
know/understand OS/2 internals, Harbour architect, .., and recently a
happy member of growing world of Mac users :-)
... and as Harbour crew page said:
"OS/2 Pirate and Harbour sailor."
so differences in capabilities can be seen from any side
As current OS/2-gcc432 can not create hbpp, harbour.exe, ... I made a
small trick to know how long build Harbour work under this version: I
created Harbour with gcc335 and copied resulting harbour.exe to use with
gcc432
Results are good
- Just remain warnings of type "differ in signedness"
Below are results included
