This is an Oracle issue and not a CentOS issue.

Please note that, typically, Oracle binary files are not portable between
hardware and OS platforms.  When I used to DBA Oracle (Oracle 8; that
long ago) we were told by Oracle that files were not portable (eg between
HPUX and Solaris, or Solaris and Linux).
