ORBit defines a special data structure for sequence<any>. However at
least I don't find any functions that work on this data structure
that could be wrapped by orbitcpp. So sequence<any> simply gets
broken by the ORBit-stuff.

Workaround: put a remark or an #if 0 around the lines ...

#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;

.. in ORBit???/src/orb/corba_sequence.h and rebuild / reinstall ORBit.
_CORBA_sequence_CORBA_any_defined is used to disable the c-stubs for
sequence<any>. Remarking the above lines therefore enables the c-stubs
which include the typecode your compiler complains that is missing.

I think I remember Phil having discussed the issue on the ORBit-list
so hopefully in the next version of ORBit this will be fixed.
