omniORB works fine with egcs, provided the compiler is configured with
--enable-threads. I don't know whether the one which comes with RH6.0
is or not. If you use a compiler which is configured incorrectly, you
see occasional random crashes due to incorrect exception handling.

If RedHat's compiler is configured incorrectly, I imagine that any
library problems would be overcome by building your own version of
egcs-1.1.2 which was correctly configured.
