[omniORB] Compile with gcc on HP-UX 11i v2 (IA64)

[Eric McMillan]

HP-UX/Itanium requires an extension of .so instead of .sl.  You will need to
change beforemake.mk.in and src/tool/omniidl/cxx/dir.mk.  The dir.mk file
hard-codes the module name as _omniidlmodule.sl, while the beforemake file
determines all the other library extensions.

There is one other problem.  Configure doesn't check for a system supplied
alloca.h and, as a result, it defaults to the omniORB supplied one when
building omnicpp.  A quick and dirty fix is to edit acconfig.h after running
configure to add a #define HAVE_ALLOCA and a #include <alloca.h>.

I haven't tried building this with gcc/g++, but I've successfully built it
using HP's AnsiC and aCC compilers.

The next one ...
I have fetched the source from Python.org and compiled it succesfully.

# /var/install/Python-2.4.3/python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jul 18 2006, 14:24:08)
[GCC 4.1.1] on hp-ux11
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

With this i tried a new build and get the following :

../../../../../src/tool/omniidl/cxx/idlpython.cc:1569: error: expected 
initializer before '*' token
../../../../../src/tool/omniidl/cxx/idlpython.cc:1579: error:

Ayn hints if it is possible to build omniORB 4.0.7 at all on HP-UX with 
gcc/g++??

Thanxs & Regards
