I'm sure it can be made to work, but I don't think anyone has tried
before. I certainly don't have access to such a system. You will have
to figure out what it is unhappy about and work out how to fix it. I
will accept patches that add support for it if you manage to make it
work.

You will get a wider audience posting this to the main omniORB mailing
list. You tried to copy it there, but you are not subscribed to that
list so it was rejected. Please subscribe and post again. Please post
to only one of the mailing lists, not both.

Duncan.
