Since CORBA provides IIOP interoperability, I would suggest to use some
different implementation in apps, where you would like to use boost+gcc
instead of Tuxedo. Any problem with using free impls like: MICO
(http://www.mico.org), omniORB (http://www.omniorb-support.com), TAO
(http://www.theaceorb.com)?

I'm afaraid name mangling is different...
