Presumably that completed without error?

Can you build the echo example?  Go to src/examples/echo and run make.
Does that work?  If so, how does its omniidl command line differ from
yours?

Try adding a -v flag to omniidl, so it outputs more information about
what's going on:

  c:\omniORB-4.1.6\bin\x86_win32\omniidl -v -bcxx ...

What is in c:\omniORB-4.1.6\lib\python\omniidl_be\  ?
