due to missing FreeBSD sections in 
        omniORB-2.8.0/src/lib/omniORBpy/omniidl/cxx/dir.mk
and
        omniORB-2.8.0/src/lib/omniORBpy/modules/omnipy/dir.mk

neither the _omnipymodule.so nor _omniidlmodule.so native modules 
for python were created

after applying the following 2 patches i finally managed to get omniORBpy
working on FreeBSD (3.3-RELEASE,omniORB 2.8.0,omniORBpy 19991214)
at least the echo_example sample runs:

anybody knows why i get the following error for an make export
in omniORBpy ?

make[5]: *** No rule to make target ie.py', needed by xport'.  Stop.
make[5]: Leaving directory /home/GLOBAL/src/omniORB-2.8.0/src/lib/omniORBpy/omni
idl/python/be/cxx/header'

after commenting out the the rule for tie.py in dir.mk the make export runs fine

ps: duncan can you please change in config/config.mk line 67
from 
#platform = i386_freebsd_3.2
into
#platform = x86_freebsd_3.2

thank you
