Thanks Duncan for the quick fix. I've confirmed that it works.

Question: Is there a good workaround for people not able to recompile
omniORB?

>From looking at the code above I would say adding

#ifndef __VFP_FP
#define __VFP_FP
#endif // __VFP_FP

before including omniORB header files should do the trick or?
