Adding

	OCITrans *                T_PTROBJ

to the top of extra.typemap should fix the 'not in typemap' errors.

For the 'invalid argument declaration' error I suggest finding the
name of the OCI function that has that declaration, then add that name
to 'oci_skip => ...' section of the boot script.

Sorry for the hassle (thanks Oracle for rearranging things on every
release!) I'll add some trouble shooting notes to the docs.
