Yes, I had the same problem with Linux Oberon 2.3.8a release on RH9.0.
I solved the problem by recompiling the oberon.c with
disabling the thread support.

It is written in src/x86/Unix/oberon.c,
  without Threads support:
  * Linux:	gcc -o linux.oberon   -DLINUX   oberon.c -ldl -lm

Then, I replaced this new linux.oberon file with the previous one.

Necati.
