This is not supported -- the code that implements the orbsvcs is not 
going to take advantage of AMH.  If you wish to use AMH in your code 
that communicates with the orbsvcs, generate your own stubs and 
skeletons (in your own directory) based on the orbsvcs idl.

It looks like you are using autoconf.  Please state this explicitly in 
the PRF.  Also since autoconf isn't supported for TAO you should try 
with the included GNUmakefiles (or generate them with MPC) before 
submitting a PRF.  See 
http://theaceorb.com/faq/index.html#HowToBuildACEandTAOonLinux for details.

As Doug mentioned yesterday, if you need commercial services for 
assistance with TAO please contact one of the support companies listed 
at http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/support.html.
