root @ cactus / # chatr /opt/app/oracle/product/8.0.6/bin/lsnrctl
chatr(warning): dl_header_ext.size != sizeof(dl_header_ext). Please update your
version of the linker.

The warning is harmless. It is a matter of applications being linked
with newer linker versions in the future to eliminate this warning.

[Armin Feller]

It has been fixed in:

PHSS_22514 for 11.00
PHSS_22535 for 11i

Regards,
Armin

This error means that the vendor needs to re-compile their code with the correct HP libraries. We had this happen on an Actel synthisis tool. It has no effect on how the tool runs. In our case, Actel needed to regenerate their executables using the updated HP libs (which they haven't done yet, btw). Seems that HP users are not a top priority with some vendors these days!
