As long as you have applied that patch, it should work fine. Are you
trying to compile the IDL with Any support (the -Wba flag to omniidl)?
Long long isn't supported in Any with 3.0, since that would break
binary compatibility.

The CVS version in the omni3_develop branch is stable. It only
contains bugfixes for the omniORB 3.0 cycle. Development things are
happening in other branches.
