[omniORB] omniORB-4.0.3 omniNames compilation error on HPUX

[Alex Tingle]

The -AA option turns off attach(). You can't possibly expect it to
compile! Why not rewrite it to not use attach()?

The old style library usage is becoming a problem in omniORB. The style
guidelines essentially say 'pretend it's 1995' - on the theory that
older style code is more portable. These days, some more modern
compilers are phasing out the older idiom, making the code LESS
portable! iostream is probably the worst for this.

A solution I suggested earlier applies in this case. If we split up the
various components of omniORB, that would make it easier to deal with
problems like this... You don't need omniNames compiled with -AA, It's a
standalone program. It should be possible to build omniidl, omniNames,
catior & the rest separately from the libraries. That would help porting
by allowing us to do it a piece at a time.

On the other hand, perhaps I should be complaining about the HP
compiler, with its myriad of incompatible modes. grr...
