[omniORB] Runtime issue with mingw32-g++-4.5.0 (static constructors)

[Jérôme Carretero]

Hi all,

I don't know if some of you tried building omniORB and its tests with the latest (4.5.0) gcc for win32 targets, either i686-pc-mingw32 (cross-compilation) or mingw32 (from Windows).
Well, I did (it's still a pain to build omniORB for this platform), and have encountered some run-time issues (everything links fine).

(gdb) r
Starting program: X:\ESS\Dev\ExternalCode\omni\src\examples\echo/eg1.exe

I can't find where the issue lies...
