When I was porting OmniORB a while back ( almost 2 years ),
Erik got ACE/TAO working. I never asked him for the code of whatever
he got working. What a mistake !.

I guess he felt it was too big for his target. 
He might have some insigths. :-)

I've managed to compile and link a minimal ACE.  Just to run a test that
prints sizes of base types.

The result is that the TEST, with  MINIMAL ACE libs  + RTEMS is 420K.
The result of wrapping networking in class ACE_OS -- all of it gets
linked.

Anyway, lets use that as a baseline...

The minimal ACE for TAO is around 500 K, but could be more.  Then the
minimal TAO is 650K if I remember ( 200K more for everything).

So,if you want ACE + TAO on RTEMS your looking at between 1.5MB and
1.7MB or so of flash to get it to go... or you must do a netboot.  (
GRUB fails ! ) OmniORB is small enough to fit on a diskette.
