yes i am using solaris 2.5.1 and the gcc2.7.2. i selected the 
sun4_sosV_5.5.mk configuration file. the compilerflag
must contain the "-fhandle-exceptions" flag (remember not
using the "-O2"-flag with the "-fhandle-exceptions"-flag)
before compiling the source you must delete the following
lines in file <home-omniORB>/src/appl/omniNames/log.cc:


// a bug on Solaris means that the fd doesn't get closed.
#if defined(__sunos__) && (__OSVERSION__ == 5)
      if (close(fd) < 0)
        throw IOError();
#endif

now you can compile the source.

good luck
