You might be better off using the autoconf based configuration,
running configure with something like

  configure CXX="CC -xtarget=ultra -xarch=v9" <other configure args>

omniidl links against Python, which was probably compiled in 32 bit
mode. You should either build a Python with 64 bit mode (with the same
kind of configure option), or build omniidl in 32 bit mode (it has no
benefit from being 64 bit), and the omniORB libraries in 64 bit mode.

Duncan.
