ORBit2-2.3.105: configure alignment error?

[Frank Rehberger <Frank Rehberger web de>]

hello,

I get an error message when I try to compile the ORBit2-2.3.105.tar.gz,
announced last week. 
I cant explain myself, why alignment checks might fail. Can someone
explain how to get arround this (see attachment for complete logfile):

checking for poll... yes
checking for basename... yes
checking for socket... yes
checking for gethostbyname... yes
checking for poptStrippedArgv in -lpopt... yes
checking for popt.h... yes
checking for socklen_t... yes
checking for inet_aton... yes
checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no
checking alignment of CORBA_octet... configure: error: Failed to find
alignment. Check config.log for details.
