I am not sure the issue is linking-- I believe it has to do with
__ctype_b no longer being exported in the C library.  What "doesn't work
as expected" when mixing objects using __ctype_b and localized
versions?  

While I am not intimately familiar w/ the Oracle build process, I do
know that no one here has been able to correctly link Oracle 8 or 9
using the compat libs.  

I have successfully linked (using Oracle's stubs), and ran Oracle 8 on
the latest Debian unstable (GLIBC 2.3).  An inspection of libc.a shows
both __ctype_b and __ctype_b_loc.

nm -a /usr/lib/libc.a | grep ctype_b
00000000 D __ctype_b
00000000 T __ctype_b_loc
