use rpm --provides libstdc++-3.2.3-52.x86_64 to figure out the provides,
rpm automagically does this for elf based deps on shared libraries, as
you're writing a virtual package you have the pain.

Check your provides against your requires.  Although it's quite possible
oracle requires the compat libs - obviously using a depsolver will pull
in the correct packages so this doesn't look like an issue to me,
assuming you have the correct Requires: lines.
