FYI - It turns out that Oracle's make files were not passing the 32-bit
flag to the compiler. Oracle support finally came through with:

1. make a copy of oh/forms/lib/env_forms.mk

2. modify all lines in oh/forms/lib/env_forms.mk that reference gcc to
add the command-line option -m32
for example:
change LINK=$(PURECMDS) gcc $(LDFLAGS) $(COMPSOBJS) to
LINK=$(PURECMDS) gcc $(LDFLAGS) $(COMPSOBJS) -m32
