Hi, sorry for the delay to reply.
My change was performed mechanically without any tests.
So, I don't know if the OS/2 widget is actually alive.
However, I was requested a review of IME code for OS/2 on this June.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768742
Therefore, I was thinking that it's alive.

We have a number of references to OS/2 throughout the build system
and source tree. According to Kyle Huey OS/2 has likely broken since
we removed --disable-ipc (bug 638755) in March 2011.
While OS/2 is a tier-3 supported build configuration [1], we will
shortly be rewriting a bunch of the build rules to handle
non-recursive compilation. Since OS/2 is effectively dead as an
operating system and since it apparently hasn't been able to build
mozilla-central since 2011 without many people complaining AFAIK,
I'm proposing that we remove traces of OS/2 from the build system.
This likely plays out as not carrying OS/2 support forward as we
change things. If the OS/2 community wishes to submit patches to
re-add support, we can accept them, just like any tier-3 platform.
Just to be clear, I don't believe other tier-3 operating systems may
fall victim during refactors. OS/2 is special in that the OS is
officially dead and sufficiently different from other supported
platforms. It therefore is a non-trivial burden for us to attempt
support as we perform large refactors to the build system.
Are there any objections to this proposal?
