The first thing to try is to use the configure script rather than the
old build system. With any luck, that will help. You should also use
Python 2.3, rather than the ancient 1.5.2. At least one of your errors
is a Python problem that has no doubt been fixed in the several years
since 1.5.2.

If there are any problems with omniORB's build on SCO OpenServer, I
have to say that I'm disinclined to modify omniORB's build to fix
them, owing to SCO's crusade against Linux and the GPL.

Cheers,

Duncan.
