The binary omniORB_2.6.1_alpha_osf1_4.0.tar.gz can only be used with
Digital C++ compiler v6.0 on Digital Unix 4.0D. In general it is not
possible to link C++ object code produced by one compiler with another
compiler. Therefore it is not possible to use egcs with the binaries we
provided.

My impression is that egcs 1.1x is still quite immature on DU in its
support for multithreaded EH handling. I suggest you stick with the
compiler provided by DEC.
