--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Workaround 
1. Connect to database 11g as SYSDBA with SQL*Plus
2. Change the definition of view EXU9DEFPSWITCHES from:

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW SYS.EXU9DEFPSWITCHES
(COMPFLGS, NLSLENSEM)
AS
SELECT  a.value, b.value
        FROM    sys.v$parameter a, sys.v$parameter b
        WHERE   a.name = 'plsql_compiler_flags' AND
                b.name = 'nls_length_semantics'

to:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW SYS.EXU9DEFPSWITCHES
(COMPFLGS, NLSLENSEM)
AS
SELECT  a.value, b.value
        FROM    sys.v$parameter a, sys.v$parameter b
        WHERE   a.name = 'plsql_code_type' AND
                b.name = 'nls_length_semantics'


3. Now take the export using exp utility 9iR2 version
4. Import using imp utility 9iR2 version
