[omniORB] omniidl2 problems under IRIX

[Peter Ledbrook]

Run omniidl2 with the -m option to force it to use namespaces for modules.
On IRIX, you need the Mips Pro 7.2.1 C++ compiler (or newer) in order to use
namespaces. Otherwise, modules are mapped to classes, and classes cannot be
re-opened.

Hope that helps,
