I'm not sure anyone has ever tried using the Intel compiler with omniORB
before...

Why did you get an old version?  The current release is 4.1.6.

You shouldn't use that. Use the Python that's distributed with RHEL 5.5.

That should be provided by the C++ runtime library. Does the Intel
compiler have its own C++ library or does it use the system libstdc++?
Do you perhaps need to add something to the icc command line to tell it
to link as C++?
