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
