[omniORB] building omniNames on Linux 2

[James Riden]

heh. It's time to play kernel of the week ;)

I'm using 2.0.36, and omniORB 2.7.1 compiled with egcs 1.1.2 and
platform = i586_linux_2.0_glibc. With egcs 1.1.1 and upwards you
get nice things like thread-safe exception  handling when using 
shared libraries (on x86 linux at least).

First I'd try getting a more up-to-date pthreads package, but 
this might require getting new versions of other stuff.

If you're thinking of upgrading, see recent comments on the list 
about gdb not working properly on Red Hat 6.  My set up is RH 5.2
+ new version of egcs, although you might consider using the Debian
2.1 release (inc. egcs 1.1.1 I think, plus a 2.2 kernel)

cheers,
 James
