Thanks a lot; I managed to compile omniORB in the meantime and the bug is fixed.

By fortunate mistake, I have found out that if I build omniORB *without*
the BuildDebugBinary option in mk/config.mk, it works ok. With the
BuildDebugBinary option set to 1, omniidl crashes (and this is
reproducable).


I like having the debug binaries, so I normally enable it by default.


Just to let you know, I have experimented with the -T flag and it makes no
difference.

Thanks. I'll redo the build with my normal cygwin environment now and/or
check the latest gnu-win32-lite.
