I have just added a more comprehensive patch to CVS which cuases string 
constants to be declared in the .h file and defined in the .cc file:

       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/pass_xlate.cc
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLCompound.h
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLModule.h
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLScope.h
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLSequence.cc
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLSequence.h
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLSimpleType.cc
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLSimpleType.h
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLString.cc
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLString.h
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLType.cc
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLType.h
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLTypedef.cc
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLTypedef.h
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLUnion.h
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLUserDefScopeType.h
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLVoid.cc
       * orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types/IDLVoid.h:
       Declare string constants in .h but define them in .cc. Required
       passing module stream and scope to const_decl_write and adding
       a new virtual function to IDLScope.

Please update to the latest version in CVS and confirm that this fixes 
the problem. I have only split the declaration/definition for string 
constants, let me know if you run into the same problem with other types.
