Yep, it builds fine.

Something ludicrously long.  I think DBD::Oracle just tries linking to
everything it finds in OH/lib.  It really only needs libclntsh and libwtc8 (at
least that's what ldd claims).

Yes, this just puts DBD::Oracle's LIBS value into the mix.

I can fiddle with it in the evenings.  I copied Oracle to my home machine to do
some development.
