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).

This definitely belongs to an Oracle mailing list. However, please look at possible issues between Big/Little Endian architectures. I've seen this when moving between different archs.
