   xlC doesn't like it:

xlC_r -c -O   -I../../../../include -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -I. -I./.. -I./../.. -DUSE_omniORB_logStream -D_OMNIORB2_DYNAMIC_LIBRARY -DUnixArchitecture -DCONFIG_DEFAULT_LOCATION=/etc/omniORB.cfg -D__aix__ -D__powerpc__ -D__OSVERSION__=4 -o irdynstub.o irdynstub.cc

gmake[3]: *** [irdynstub.o] Error 1

   I'm trying a recompile now with the const added.
xlC also doesn't have const_cast<>, so it needs the following:

*** CORBA_sysdep.h.orig	Sat Jun 26 13:55:09 1999
--- CORBA_sysdep.h	Wed Jul  7 08:54:18 1999
***************
*** 244,249 ****
--- 244,253 ----
  #     define SIZEOF_PTR 8
  #endif
  
+ #elif defined(__xlC__) && (__xlC__ <= 0x0301)
+ 
+ #undef HAS_Cplusplus_const_cast
+ 
  #endif
  
  #if defined(__hpux__)

More info once I finish compiling everything...
