This bugged me too - the binaries shipped with 8.0.5 are linked against the old
glibc-2.0 and use calls which are not upwardly compatible to glibc-2.1 - what you need to
do is this:

  1. Install the glibc-2.0 backwards compatibility kit (5 RPMs on the RH6 CD)
  2. Get the patch from Oracle's ftp site which will update the makefiles to relink against the compatibility libraries (glibcpatch.tgz)

Sign up for Oracle Technet and read all about it. Several users have posted step
by step howtos on their web pages too.

Enjoy
