"If it offends you then cut it out" :)

In this case try adding "StmtBind" to the list of excluded subs
in the boot script. That way no code will be generated for it.

You may need to repeat that process a few times if the cause is that
Oracle's headers include prototypes for subs that don't exist in the
library.  Which seems to be the case here (thanks to Roy Seto for the info).
