   It is mostly a guess, since I haven't used AIX for a while, but I
don't think you want to use makeC++SharedLib_r with gcc; it is
more for compiling with xlC.  I think you need to fix this in
src/tool/omniidl/cxx/dir.mk, since it is unconditionally using
makeC++SharedLib_r under AIX.  This used to be reasonable since only xlC
was usable, but gcc is at least closer now, so something more resembling
the Linux library build would be appropriate for your case.
   Good luck.
