[omniORB] unable to build omniORB 2.7.0 on linux with egcs-1.1.1

[Herve Lehoux]

Hi OmniORBers,

i have problems with omniidl2 on linux : 

i downloaded omniORB_2.7.0_x86_linux_2.0_glibc and tried to compile my
application. i have a seg_fault in omniidl2.

so i dowloaded the source and compiled it. same result, omniidl2 gets seg_fault
while processing omniORB_2.7.0/src/lib/omniORB2/Naming.idl .

below is more precise information :

thanks for any help.

(gdb) p *prefix_scope
$4 = {<COMMON_Base> = <invalid address>, _vb.COMMON_Base = 0x11, pd_scope_node_type = 32, pd_decls = 0x0, pd_decls_allocated = 6,
  pd_decls_used = 0, pd_local_types = 0x4004d3bc, pd_locals_allocated = 0, pd_locals_used = 0, pd_referenced = 0x0,
  pd_referenced_allocated = 0, pd_referenced_used = 0, pd_parent_types = 0x0, pd_parents_allocated = 0, pd_parents_used = 0,
  _vptr. = 0x8102fc0 <o2be_root::UTL_Scope virtual table>}

it seems to me ScopeAsDecl(prefix_scope) called in
internal_produce_repositoryID() returns a null pointer
so maybe the scope_node_type is not set to a correct value.
somehow, the decl pointer ../..
(gdb) p *decl
$7 = {<COMMON_Base> = {_vptr. = 0x80ffce0 <o2be_name::COMMON_Base virtual table>}, _vb.COMMON_Base = 0x813c564, pd_imported = 1,
  pd_in_main_file = 0, pd_defined_in = 0x813c2ac, pd_node_type = NT_pre_defined, pd_line = -1, pd_file_name = 0x813be00,
  pd_name = 0x813c5e8, pd_local_name = 0x813c540, pd_pragmas = 0x0, pd_added = 0,
  _vptr. = 0x80ffcec <o2be_name::AST_Decl virtual table>}

has a correct pd_node_type = NT_pre_defined so maybe the error is in 
    prefix_scope = decl->defined_in(); in internal_produce_repositoryID() ????
