It indeed seems to have something to do with the gcc version. After manually changing the makefile ins_rdbms.mk by replacing the gcc call in LINK to gcc-2.95, the make succeeded.

Unfortunately this trick did not help for the next error in the ctx/lib directory. :-( There a replacement of gcc by gcc-2.95 in the makefile does not resolve the problem:

gcc-2.95 -o ctxhx -L/vol/oracle/ctx/lib/ -L/vol/oracle/lib/

-L/vol/oracle/lib/stubs/  /vol/oracle/ctx/lib/ctxhx.o 
-L/vol/oracle/ctx/lib/ -lm -lsc_ca -lsc_fa -lsc_ex -lsc_da -lsc_ut 
-lsc_ch -lsc_fi -lctxhx -lc -Wl,-rpath,/vol/oracle/ctx/lib -lnls9 
-lcore9 -lnls9 -lcore9 -lnls9 -lxml9 -lcore9 -lunls9 -lnls9

/usr/bin/ld: ctxhx: hidden symbol `stat' in /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(stat.oS) is referenced by DSO collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

However, I found the following URL with some workarounds:

http://www.the-love-shack.net/oracle-on-sid.html

Not that it helped much, but the hint just to hit 'Ignore' did help.

With this help, the Install process proceeded further, but after all, the installer segfaulted a while later and that was it. :-(

For the time being, I'm giving up. No Oracle for me, I guess. I should have stayed with debian stable, it's my own fault! Unfortunately a downgrade isn't possible.
