Did you set the PATH like that? Don't put /compat/linux in there
explicitly. Leave it as it normally is (/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin)
and /compat/linux will be searched appropriately for you. This is
causing all kinds of problems like

> /ora/app/bin/genclntsh: cat: command not found

and

(there are others, too). It looks like it's trying to build the symbol
table, but without those tools, who knows what kind of garbage it
produced. This certainly looks suspicious

because many libraries are listed more than once.
