I'm afraid that what you are trying to do is fundamentally impossible.
Both ORBs have to create symbols with the same names as each other, so
clashes are inevitable.

You could, in theory, put everything omniORB related in a different
namespace, but it hasn't been designed with that in mind, so it would
not be an easy task.
