[omniORB] Building OmniORB 2.7.1 on AIX 4.2, yet another problem.

[Gary D. Duzan]

   You need to find where cpp lives under that compiler version and add a

CPP = /path/to/cpp

to your mk/platforms/powerpc_aix_4.2_funky_compiler.mk file and rebuild
omniidl2. In xlC 3.1.4 /lib/cpp is a link to /usr/ccs/lib/cpp, so you
might look there. It might also need to be installed separately; check
if you have something like "ibmcxx.cpp" or some such thing installed.
(It is in "xlC.cpp" in 3.1.4, but the packages changed around in
3.6.x.)
