The problem was that the make rules to make the libtcpwrapGK.so shared
library with gcc on Solaris were missing. This meant that the
omniORBpy link tried to use the static library version, which doesn't
contain position independent code. I've added the make rules to CVS.
They'll appear in tonight's FTP snapshots.

Thanks for the bug report,

Duncan.
