hmm, i don't know why you use autoconf but don't want to explore its
possibilities. the configure is only a shellscript so any complete
tarball which should include this files doesn't need the autoconf
scripts themself.

i want to say gcc, which isn't available on any system but does that
depency build much better. also the included omkdepend won't run on a
few archs.

i find another thing which make problems:
omniidl uses its own copy of cpp called omnicpp which is an old version
of the gnu cpp and isn't 64 bit clean. i don't know why omniidl need its
own cpp, because any system with a c compiler also needs a preprocessor.
