Different C++ compilers use different name mangling schemes, so it is
fundamentally impossible to use a C++ library built with aCC from GCC.

As I said before, you need to write the make rules to build omniidl
with GCC on HPUX. If it's possible at all, it shouldn't be hard. It
might be impossible, but I doubt it.

Alternatively, given that you have a working omniidl, compiled with
aCC, you can just use that, and do the rest of the build with gcc. Not
pretty, but it should work.

Cheers,

Duncan.
