If someone wants to do a pull req to remove the dependence on scio.h, I'll pull it.

Yes, just remove the dependency on file you have no sources of...
But here we are:
https://github.com/DigitalMars/optlink/pull/4


So, everything works now!
No, it's a joke. )))
Optlink is surely propected from being compiled by dmc's ICE:
---
dmc -c newlibc -NTPASS1_TEXT -I..\common -r -N_ -o -o.\OBJNT\newlibc.obj
Internal error: cgcod.c 750

The ICE is disappeared with other `dm.exe` but even with
https://github.com/DigitalMars/optlink/pull/5
there are still make errors:

Dear Walter Bright,
could you please test Optlink to be buildable not only with your machine configuration?

If dummy (empty) file isn't created as os2link\OBJ\LNKX.EXE you get this:
---
...
        cd ..\OS2LINK
        cd OBJNT
        copy ..\OBJ\LNKX.EXE>nul
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'copy' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
---

If dummy is created you get this:
---
...
        cd ..\OS2LINK
        cd OBJNT
        copy ..\OBJ\LNKX.EXE>nul
        D:\D\dm\bin\linkold /SILENT /NOI /NOERROR  @..\slrNT

The link line is in optdll.mak and should be:

OPTLINK: $(DIRS)
	cd ..\OS2LINK
	$(DM)\bin\link $(OBJ)\* ..\appload\slrload,$(OBJ)\link.exe,$(OBJ)\link.map,..\LIBNT\ $(LIBS)/CO/MAP/DET/XREF/NOI/EXETYPE:NT;
# link does not work with multiple processors, so we set the affinity to 1
# imagecfg is available here: http://www.robpol86.com/index.php/ImageCFG
# imagecfg always has exit code 1
	-imagecfg -a 0x1 $(OBJ)\link.exe

This[1] should have taken care of that. Although it still needed DMC source for scio.h, but it did build on my machine.

This[1] is already merged so I don't understand your point.
