Have you built libodb-oracle as a static library? If so, then you need
to link the libraries after the object files:

g++ -o odbtest.run obj/test.o -lodb-2.4 -lodb-oracle

If that doesn't help, try to rebuild everything (libodb, libodb-oracle,
and your project) from source with the same g++ -- there has been a
breaking ABI change in GCC which renders libraries built with different
versions incompatible.
