Assume that you have patched python.c as I suggested, 
question is does your compilation actually use g++ to compile python.o and
are you using g++ to link the python executable?
The main symbol should have been defined in python.o for C++ linkage.

Past experience taught me that trying to use gcc in the hope that its
exception handling is correctly implemented and thread safe is
a time drain and with few happy endings. If you can use aCC, this will save
you a lot of time (and money?).

If you want to have a go, you may be better not to build omniORB and
omnithread shared libary at all. Your trace shows a problem which is much
more basic than what I was suggusting. Looks like either you have not
compile omnithread library with the right compiler threads or your linkage
to pthread library is wrong.
