You're confusing a compiler and runtime/OS it runs on. EMX, DJGPP, Mingw32
are distinct runtimes; all of these have GCC *ports* and not *derived*
from GCC. EMX and DJGPP provide their own C runtime library (DOS based,
using some form of 32bit extension), whereas uses Microsoft's runtime 
(and provides direct access to Windows32 API) and conforms to native 
windows32 compiler. Mingw32 does not run under pure DOS, Win16, etc.

Right.
