This is weird! I do remember a thread on orbit-list before version 0.5.8
was announced that sounded like the following patch solving your problem
would be applied. However looking at my own brand-new Linux-installation
I don't see anything has changed:

In file .../include/orb/corba_sequences.h put the following lines in /* ...
*/:

  #define _CORBA_sequence_CORBA_any_defined
  typedef struct CORBA_sequence_CORBA_any_struct CORBA_AnySeq;
  typedef struct CORBA_sequence_CORBA_any_struct CORBA_sequence_CORBA_any;

The section sais that CORBA_sequence_CORBA_any is defined but this is very
untrue at least for the typecode. So later on the automatically (by the
idl-compiler) generated stubs that define the typecode and implement
CORBA_sequence_CORBA_any are not compiled in. That's why eventually
the compiler mocks.

Phil: Didn't you port the test "everything" to plain orbit? Does it pass
there?

Cu,

P.S.: I'm deeply sorry and ask you to apologize my having annoyed others on
the
  list with wrong information ("do you really have ORBit 0.5.8 installed?")
