E-mail me, I have a very simple PM program written in GNAT.  In any
case, there should be a release of a PM binding in less than two
weeks.  It will be very rudimentary though.

Point is: I didn't manage to get a working

Definitely!  I'm becoming convinced that us OS/2 folks should nudge
the NYU folks to move over to EMX.  As it stands, they're considering
it (Robert mentioned this at Tri-Ada).  I think this would be a smart
move, if only so we can get a debugger (EMX, for better or worse, is
becoming the standard gcc implementation for OS/2).
