Ok... The patch can be used for Oracle in the mean time, but it is important
enough to be fixed anyway. I'll keep it in mind.

Yes I have.
HOWTO part 1: Setup an Oracle-friendly FreeBSD environment :-)
1. Download the RPM sources (www.rpm.com); compile and install it (FreeBSD
native).
2. Remove everything from /compat/linux (packages and manual tweaking)
3. Make and run the following script (after you have downloaded all .rpm
files):
#!/bin/sh
SRC=/where/you/have/the/redhat/packages
DST=/compat/linux
RPM="rpm -i --ignoreos --root $DST"
mkdir -p $DST/var/local/lib/rpm
touch $DST/var/local/lib/rpm/packages.rpm
$RPM $SRC/setup-1.9.1-2.noarch.rpm
$RPM $SRC/filesystem-1.3.1-3.noarch.rpm
$RPM $SRC/ld.so-1.9.5-7.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/ldconfig-1.9.5-3.i386.rpm
brandelf -t Linux $DST/sbin/ldconfig
$RPM $SRC/glib-1.0.1-3.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/glibc-2.0.7-17.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/termcap-9.12.6-11.noarch.rpm
$RPM $SRC/libtermcap-2.0.8-9.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/grep-2.2-2.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/fileutils-3.16-9.i386.rpm
brandelf -t Linux $DST/bin/* $DST/usr/bin/*
$RPM $SRC/bash-2.02-1.i386.rpm
brandelf -t Linux $DST/bin/bash
$RPM $SRC/libc-5.3.12-27.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/zlib-1.1.2-2.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/ncurses-4.2-6.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/info-3.12-6.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/make-3.76.1-3.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/binutils-2.9.1.0.7-1.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/gcc-2.7.2.3-11.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/kernel-headers-2.0.34-3.i386.rpm
$RPM $SRC/glibc-devel-2.0.7-17.i386.rpm
brandelf -t Linux $DST/bin/* $DST/sbin/* $DST/usr/bin/* $DST/usr/sbin/*
rm $DST/etc/exports $DST/etc/group $DST/etc/passwd $DST/etc/hosts.allow
$DST/etc
/hosts.deny $DST/etc/motd $DST/etc/printcap $DST/etc/protocols
$DST/etc/services
4. Make an 'oracle' user and 'dba' group. Set the shell of the 'oracle' user
to /compat/linux/bin/bash.
5. Insert the following lines in ~oracle/.profile
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle; export ORACLE_HOME
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib; export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ORACLE_SID=ORCL; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_TERM=386x; export ORACLE_TERM
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip; export CLASSPATH
PATH=/compat/linux/bin:/compat/linux/sbin: \
/compat/linux/usr/bin:/compat/linux/usr/sbin: \
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin: \
$ORACLE_HOME/bin; export PATH
6. Login as oracle and run orainst...

Great! The HOWTO is almost finished :-)
