Having its libgcc and libstdc++ is sufficient if you use a wrapper like
this (where /usr/bin/gcc.bin is the original gcc since Oracle's scripts
apparently can't use anything else than /usr/bin/gcc):
--- 8< ---
#!/bin/bash
if type -path gcc296 >&/dev/null; then
# RHEL3
exec gcc296 "$@"
else
# Wrap gcc so that it uses version 2.96 of the libgcc library to
link
# Oracle binaries
exec /usr/bin/gcc.bin -B /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96 -
static-libgcc "$@"
fi
