Thanxs for your hint

i changed the mk/beforeauto.mk.in to not include the "-soname" but now 
i got trouble with Python/IDL. I have used the minimal Python binary 
from the project website and set the PYTHON env to this binary. It is 
recognized but something does not work as expected :

gmake[3]: Leaving directory 
`/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/src/lib/omnithread'
making export in src/lib/omniORB...
gmake[3]: Entering directory 
`/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/src/lib/omniORB'
../../../bin/omniidl -bcxx -Wba -p../../../../src/lib/omniORB -Wbdebug 
-v -ComniORB4 ../../../../idl/Naming.idl

omniidl: ERROR!

omniidl: Could not open IDL compiler module _omniidlmodule.so
omniidl: Please make sure it is in directory 
/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/lib
omniidl: (or set the PYTHONPATH environment variable)

omniidl: (The error was 'Failed to load 
/var/install/omniORB-4.0.7/build/lib/_omniidlmodule.sl')

Strange the file is there :

Is this Python just too old or do miss something?
