I think You have hit a problem which is documented in Oracle 8.0.4 and 8.1.5

Actually I doubt that Oracle supports V7 on AIX 4.3.3 but that is an other
story

The problem is that Oracle will only link with Posix draft 7 thread model
AIX 4.3.3 defaults to Posix draft 10 threads
try:
export  LINK_CONTROL=L_PTHREADS_D7
This essentially replaces the default  libpthreads.a library
with libpthreadscompat.a

It is documented in the Oracle V8 installation manuals.

Hopes this helps
