[omniORB] possible bug in omniidl2

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Micheal,

omniidl2 uses getopt() to parse the input arguments.
The Solaris version conforms to the POSIX standard. The linux version is
extended. Try this on linux:

$ export POSIXLY_CORRECT=1
$ omniidl2 -v point.idl -s .sk

You'll get the same error as the Solaris version.

Regards,

Sai-Lai
