Oracle works fine after we switched from MTS to Dedicated server mode. The workaround referenced in Bugzilla 18391 works (ref. valinux).

We also tried another workaround - this one suggested by Oracle in its metalink website (sorry , I don't have the URL). It involves installing egcs-gcc and compat-glibc-21 from the RH7 CD-ROM. After doing this and updating Oracle's make files exactly as suggested in metalink, we succeeeded again - actually this method is relatively hassle-free compared to our earlier method). The 3 (in brief) steps were :

1. Install egcs and compat-glibc (not the exact names) as specified in Ora-metalink.
2. Install oracle ( after install, it will hang/not work - so don;t try to create the database using dbassist at this point)
3. Modify make files as instructed in Ora-metalink.
4. Use the oracle command "relink" to relink oracle executables.
5. Now create db. using dbassist.
