Rahul,

All UNIX OS's come with a rudimentary C compiler and linker, mainly for the purpose of rebuilding the kernel. What Oracle needs is the make utility and the linker. The compiler is only needed if your building a program from source code and since Oracle ships object code it needs to relink. But that rudimentary linker will work just fine.
