We didn't try to build such a binary and, while I am not familiar
with eCommStation, I think it won't be easy. However, you can always
compile your schemas on another box (e.g., Linux or Windows) and then
copy the generated code over to eCommStation. This is how we normally
support "legacy" operating systems such as OpenVMS, z/OS, etc.

The more important question is whether the C++ compiler that you plan 
to use to compile the generated code is modern enough. It seems IBM
discontinued their VisualAge C++ for OS/2 around version 3 which is
quite old. I don't think this compiler is conforming enough. There
seems to be a port of GCC available for eCommStation and I think you
have a better chance with this compiler.
