As far as I know, no.

However, Rainer Schnitker (known as the author of RSX DPMI extender for 
DJGCC and EMX/GCC) wrote a prototype Windows development for
EMX/GCC. The following is part of his notice:

(rsxwdk1.zip is, I think, available from ftp.cica.indiana.edu: /pub/win3/...)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RSXWDK1 - building 32bit Windows apps with EMX/GCC for MS-Windows 3.1 Feb 94
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The RSX Window Development Kit (release 1) contains:

        1) RSXW32.EXE, running 32bit GCC/Windows programs
        2) LIBWIN.A, the library for the EMX/GCC compiler to build the
           32bit executables

Software Requirements:
----------------------

        - MS-Windows 3.1 enhanced mode

        - EMX/GCC 0.8[e-h]



Building 32bit Windows programs:
--------------------------------

        1 ) Software Requirements:
                Windows header file
                rc, the resource compiler

        2) edit \rsxwin\include\windows.h to include your
           16 bit Windows header file

        3) use one example makefile as a Makefile for your programs

Notes:
------

    The LIBWIN.A library is not complete.
    Most tested calls are in \rsxwin\lib\*.c.
    Others are in header.out (the File is build with header.exe)

    I use only the old header files from Windows 3.0 SDK.
    Someone should test the include file with SDK 3.1.
    If you write (test) calls for LIBWIN.A, please send a mail to me.
