[omniORB] Ominorb 4 + AIX 5.1 + gcc 295

[Thomas Zumbiehl]

Hi guys,

I don't know yet for omniORB 4 on AIX 5.1 (we should shift to omniORB 4 as
soon as an official release will be available), but we had successfully
compiled omniORB 3.0.4 on a 4.3.3 AIX platform using gcc 3.1.
We tried with gcc 2.95.3 but this compiler was not generating correct code
on AIX. Use at least gcc 3.1.

Cheers,

Thomas
