Well, I think it means you're trying to link against the 64 bit Oracle 
libraries with 32 bit code.  I'm sure gcc has an option to generate 64 
bit code -- but you may have to build a newer gcc!

A quick google search turned up:

    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-10/msg01118.html

Which indicates that you may need to pull down a cvs version of gcc 3.1. 
 My Sun Blade 100 arrives 'soon' (the country kit [power cord, keyboard, 
mouse] showed up today) so I can't give detailed instructions until then.

Your other two options are to download the 32 bit Oracle 9i for Solaris, 
and install that instead, or license Sun's C compiler.
