[omniORB] omniORB-4.1.3 x64 cross compile problems

I have never tried compiling omniORB x64 using the cross compiler but it 
may be impossible (for now).

omniidl.exe depends on python.dll. Since the cross compiler only 
generates x64 code you need an x64 version of Python. This means that 
the resulting omniidl.exe cannot be run on x86 Windows.

Since omniidl.exe is needed in the build process of omniORB I do not see 
how to make this work.

Why don't you just stick with x64 Windows? There you can compile x86 and 
x64 versions of omniORB and run them both without problems.

Regards, Peter.
