I am not having problems with shared libraries. I had to change some of
the Makefiles for shared libraries. I simply can't debug shared
libraries. gdb tells me at startup that it does not find these, although
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set.

Did you change log.cc. There is #defined _sunos__ ... at several places
This needs to be changed to 
#if defined(__sunos__) && (__SUNPRO_CC)

This has been noted earlier in a mail.

Could you connect C++ programs with Java programs using the Java
Nameservice?
This I could do after recompiling everything. There is still a problem
somewhere because I did not manage to use the omniORB nameService with
Java programs alone.
