Actually, EMX has a "C runtime library DLL" option I didn't even
MENTION.  The EMX library is for unix system call emulation, the other
compilers aren't emulating the unix enviornment (not by default, anyway),
so you don't have to go out of your way to switch that OFF.

The EMX option to use the "C functions runtime library" is
-Zcrtdll, and if you didn't tell it -Zsys and -Zomf when you made that
thing, it would then require TWO .dll files, emx.dll and crt.dll.  (And it
gets even more complicated because there's a seperate multi-threaded and
single-threaded dll...)

A bit much for a newbie asking a simple question before deciding which
package to go with, I thought.
