Well, to me it sounds like all this could be done much simpler. Like, running it in pure DOS or even DOSEmu on Linux should do the work in much simpler way (and it's likely to have a builtin debugger).

But, I don't mind. It's your project, so you do you. :)

Cool. I can stand behind that. :)

You want to implement 16-bit OS/2 runtime on PDOS/386?

Well, if that's what your goal is, take a look at the following projects:
https://github.com/icculus/2ine
https://github.com/osfree-project

Or you just want to have ability to run 16-bit OS/2 apps on your development machine?

Well, have fun. :P
