I tried playing around with this some time ago and I believe I got the
same error. Ultimately, I gave up on it because we have no compelling
need to make omniORB bigger and slower.

While I don't really know for sure, my opinion of the source of the
problem is this: You are building python modules in 64 bit mode but
you have a 32 bit Python so they are incompatible. If you want to try
this out, you will have to build a 64 bit Python.

However, I might be full of it...
