I'm trying to compile omniORB 3.0.4 on XP with VC8 (Visual Studio

2005)

Is there a good reason that you're trying to compile such an old

omniORB

version with such a new version of Visual Studio? omniORB 4.0.7 and
4.1.0 both work fine with VS 8.

I know it's somewhat weird that anyone would use an ancient version of
open source software.
My situation is I'm building customization for a software pack which
includes omni ORB3.0.4. I cannot change the "core" software, but only
build additional features / UIs for it. That's why I'm using VC8 and
3.0.4.

You are aware that different MSVC major versions do not produce binary
compatible output for C++ sources, right? I would suggest that you match
your MSVC version to the software pack you are customising (if the
vendor also used MSVC8, then they must have already fixed these issues,
so ask them, but if they are using such an old ORB version I suspect
they used an older MSVC version too).
