-Wp64 is warning about potential 64 bit issues. What it's not taking
into account is that when omniORB is compiled on a 64 bit platform, a
whole load of the types are defined differently. This particular warning
isn't actually covered by that, but the vast majority of them are. It's
definitely not possible to construct the headers to be free from
warnings of that kind.

I don't know why the compiler thinks it can't generate an assignment
operatoe here. Does it remove the warning if you define a do-nothing
assignment operator there?

Cheers,

Duncan.
