That's a good question.  ACE+TAO have no C bindings.  Depending on what
you're trying to do you might either want to consider

1. Using a C-based ORB (if you're primarily interested in CORBA) or

2. Use a C-based OS adapter latery (if you're primarily interested in
   portability.

ORBit would be an example of #1 and the Apache Portable Runtime and
Netscape Portable Runtime would be examples of #2.

Thanks,
