Compiling ASIS and GLADE for a newer version isn't that difficult - even
SuSE managed that for SuSE 9.2 - including x86_64 architecture. On the down
side SuSE only supplies 3.3.4 which is not that helpfull :-( .

Besides: GCC 3.4 has PolyORB which seems the better option anyway.

Or creating DLL's for Windows.
