While installing 11gR2 on Oracle Enterprize Linux 5 update 3, I faced below error during relink process
/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail@GLIBC_2.4′
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ctxhx] Error 1
and
Exception String: Error in invoking target ‘install’ of makefile ‘/u10/app/SBLOSL/orsblosl/oracle/product/11.2.0/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk’
Upon investigating, I observed gcc version is 3.4.6, Where as oracle 11gR2 installer requires gcc version 4.1.x.

Hence I moved gcc and g++ in /usr/bin to backup directory and restored gcc.orig and g++.orig to gcc & g++ respectively.
Retry the relink lead to successful completion of the 11gR2 install.
