You might want to experiment with modifying the XML files in the
database/stage/prereq directory of the 10.2.0.1 distribution. For example,
db/db_prereq.xml contains the following line:
<PREREQUISITEREF NAME="GLIBC" SEVERITY="Error"/>
Changing that to "Warning" might help you to continue the installation.
Needless to say, doing that wouldn't guarantee that the linking stage of the
process will succeed.

Subject: 10gR2 no longer installs on non-supported Linux
Anyone else able to get 10gR2 installed on a non-supported Linux like
Gentoo (for testing purposes only, obviously)? I haven't yet done a:
strace -o /tmp/orainstall -f -ff ./runInstaller
-ignoreSysPrereqs
...and checked out the 80+ files created about this, but the Installer
fires up a "Product-Specific Prerequisite Check" even with the
-ignoreSysPrereqs and the requirements for glibc and others fail. I
believe I meet the glibc minimum at 2.3.2, but the installer refuses to
continue. And thanks to the Gentoo development, I'm unable to upgrade
my glibc because they delete ebuilds from portage and a revdep rebuild
will fail. <sigh> Really need to dump Gentoo -- gone WAAAY downhill
since Daniel Robbins left.
BTW, this is my desktop, and I'm running a 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 kernel on a
2.6Ghz P-IV w/1G RAM.
TIA!
Rich
