[omniORB] omniORB on AIX 4.2 using gcc

[Gary D. Duzan]

   Unfortunately, you are pretty much out of luck. I'm not sure what
the gprof problem is, but gcc on AIX doesn't handle exceptions and
threads together properly, which pretty much leaves OmniORB unusable.
To my knowledge the only gcc which has ever worked was egcs 1.0 with a
special patch applied, and that is getting rather out of date. If you
want to try this version, there is information on how to obtain it in
README.egcs in the source distribution.
   Sorry.
