Install fails on RHEL4 64 bit

Question

Can somebody have an idea why the Oracle installer fail on my RHEL4/64 bit?
The installer fail with:
"Error in invoking target 'install' of makefile'...
See log for details.
and this is the log:

I installed the package 'binutils-2.15.92.0.2-13.0.0.0.2.x86_64' as described by the release notes (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b15666/toc.htm)
Ah, by the way, the release notes talks about:
...This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4619031.
but does anybody knows where I can find a description of this bug? The search engine in the Oracle web site is practically useles....

You can search this bug on metalink but I am assuming that you dont have access to it so I am pasting the whole stuff here for you:
