We have used omniOrb 2.7.1 and 2.8.0 on Solaris 7 x86 and 8 x86 and on
Solaris 7 sparc using gcc 2.95.2 without much problems. The problems
that we have had are:

- The platform specific makefile for Solaris x86 had to be updated.
- We have not managed to make the omniorb semaphores work in our own
code under Solaris 7 Sparc.
- We do not use omniDynamic, so we do not know whether there are any
problems there.
