omniORB & egcs on AIX

[Andrey Slepuhin]

Hi,

I spent last week trying omniORB with several installations of
egcs on AIX 4.2.1 (with gnu or native ld and with shared or static
libraries).
Results are the following:
1) with static libraries all works fine both with gnu and native linker.
2) with shared libraries built with native ld (both libstdc++ and
omniORB libraries) all works fine, but current egcs version doesn't
properly support automatic build of shared libraries on AIX with native
ld. So, I was forced to build libstdc++ and omniORB libraries manually.
3) with shared libraries built with gnu ld thread examples and eg1
work fine but other examples dump a core. Unfortunately, I cannot
localize the problem but it seems that it is somewhere in
tcpSocket_UNIX.cc.

Next week I'll try to test omniORB with egcs on Linux (if my friend
tune sshd to allow login into chroot'ed home, where he has a full
Linux installation built with egcs).

Please report if anybody also has an experience in building omniORB
with egcs.

Andrey.
