  If you have access to a Linux box, copy /usr/bin/objdump
(part of binutils), and run that on the Linux executables:
objdump-linux --headers <oracle exec>

  Running it on itself (I don't have the oracle stuff) produces output like:
% objdump-linux --headers objdump-linux
objdump-linux:     file format elf32-i386

  P.S.  "objdump --disassemble <file>" can be quite handy at times!
