I have run into the same problem. Oracle is now supplied with static link libraries. They run 1.6MB if you link a dumy main. There is an 'oracle' shared library that reduces this to 0.6MB if you link it instead of the libraries that occur after the 'sqlnet' libraries. These are 'ora', 'core' and one other if I remember right. I haven't had time to find out how to elimate the 'sqlnet' libraries. If anyone has the answer, I would appreciate it if you passed it on.
