Try running configure like this

  configure CXX="..." CC="..."

replacing the ... with the complete compiler commands for C++ and C.
That will make sure the configure script uses the right compilers when
it does its tests.

Possibly.

Not if you're using the configure script. Instead, look at the
generated include/omniORB4/acconfig.h file. Does it have the correct
word sizes in it?

Once you've got omnicpp working, the next issue will be omniidl. To
make that work, make sure you configure and build Python with the 64
bit compilers, otherwise it will all blow up in omniidl.

Cheers,

Duncan.
