Oracle 10gR2 Java installer fails on Ubuntu AMD64

* Andrew Piskorski 

| Briefly, the relink clearly wasn't finding libpthread and libc at all
| (!), but that was because it was looking for libpthread.so and libc.so
| rather than libpthread.so.0 and libc.so.6.  Adding a few symlinks
| cleared up that problem.  (Incidentally, shouldn't Ubuntu have had
| those symlinks in the first place?)

No, not really, since we don't provide generally usable i386 -dev
packages on amd64.  You might have luck with ia32-libs-dev, though no
guarantees are given.

| After that, some of the relinks failed.  The only hard errors seem to
| be these:
|
|   /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.0.2/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start':
|   ../sysdeps/x86_64/elf/start.S:106: undefined reference to `__libc_csu_fini'
|   ../sysdeps/x86_64/elf/start.S:107: undefined reference to `__libc_csu_init'
|   collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
|   make: *** [ctxhx] Error 1

It's trying to link with oracle into a 64 bit executable.  See if you
can find the linker command and sneak -m32 into the command line (if
it's using gcc), or --32 (if it's calling ld directly).

|   /bin/rm: cannot remove `/db/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib/': Is a directory
|   /usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file /db/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib/: Is a directory

I'm guessing it's a variable which gets expanded to the empty string here.

|   /usr/bin/find: /db/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib32/.1.0: Too many levels of symbolic links
|   /usr/bin/find: /db/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib/.1.0: Too many levels of symbolic links

Same here.
