This worked for me: (note the order of the libs and sqlnet appearing twice!)

===CUT===
Change these Makefile lines:
< OCILIB    = $(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/lib/libocic.a
< NETLIBS   = $(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/lib/osntab.o \
<             $(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/lib/libsqlnet.a 
< ORALIBS   = $(ORACLE_HOME)/rdbms/lib/libora.a
< ALL_ORA_LIBS = $(CLIBS) $(OCILIB) $(NETLIBS) $(ORALIBS)
---
to these:
> OCILIB    = -locic
> NETLIBS   = $(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/osntab.o -lsqlnet
> ORALIBS   = -lora -lcv6 -lcore -lsqlnet
> ALL_ORA_LIBS = -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib $(CLIBS) $(OCILIB) $(NETLIBS) $(ORALIBS)
