It's been quite a while since I've done this, but as I recall it, the
debug and standard versions build a.out (COFF) executables, which then
have an EMX header applied to them, and pretty much everything is done
with the EMX tools.

The production version builds .obj/.lib files, and is linked through the
EMX front end to link386.  Certainly you can't link using link386
directly, unless you supply all the arguments that the EMX front end
would supply.

As far as I remember the c.cmd script has the logic needed to do this
providing all the objects are build in production mode, the libraries
built in production mode, and you link in production mode.
