[omniORB] AIX issues: gcc 3.3

I haven't looked at the omniORB build system in a little while, but 
generally autoconf expects to look for and use a "CXX" environment 
variable to find the compiler. Not sure about the linker, but for sure 
you want to use g++ rather than ld for the link step because ld does not 
know about some of those hidden libraries used to support the C++ 
infrastructure while g++ when used for linking does.

I wasn't following the thread earlier; have you tried using autoconf to 
configure or are you doing this manually?
