I am assuming Paul Smedley's build environment located at http://www.smedley.info/os2ports/ind...ld-environment is based off of this information?

I think Paul may of started with a lot of the same environment and has
updated it quite a bit. Examples include Paul having his own builds of
Perl and Python, perhaps the coreutils and lots of various libraries.
The advantages of building with klibc (innotek_libc) includes large file
support and symbolic links.
A lot of the older EMX ports are really ports instead of recompilations.
File utils which support extended attributes, same with the old tar and
gzip. And various things like that.
