btw, I saw a recommendation from H.J.Lu (maintainer of binutils) on the
egcs-news group to use binnutils-2.9.1.0.19 together with egcs-1.1.1. Apparently
the new binutils should work better with shared libraries and exception-handling.

I'm using binutils-2.9.1.0.19 together with egcs-1.1.1 and omniorb-2.6.1
and it works without problems.

btw: did you fix the ::sleep() call from omni_thread::sleep() ?
