[omniORB] Linux, EGCS 1.1a and OmniORB 2.6.0: dumps core in ORB_init

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Richard,

Did you find out what was wrong?

I would suspect your egcs 1.1a build is the source of the problem.
Just to be sure:

1. Did you build egcs with --enable-threads?
2. Do you use binutils-2.9.1.x as instructed?

We have been using egcs snapshot up to 980824 on x86 redhat 5.1. Haven't tried
egcs-1.1 though.

Regards,

Sai Lai
