[omniORB] OmniOrb incompatible with Boost library

That's correct. If you stay away from unicode, issue will never show up.

Built-in Type) are incompatible with the ones compiled without. This
basically changes the compiler interpretation of wchar_t from unsigned
short to a native wchar_t.  Everything go fine until you link to unicode
functions. Since it's a global compile setting, your application cannot
mix and match libraries compiled with different setting : it will give
you link errors.

it confirms Boost is right. For testing purposes, I added the switch to
current release.

Am I right to say that as long as one does not use Unicode together with
CORBA one does not has to care as all omniORB interfaces will be with
char anyway ... ?
