oracle 12c on fedora 20

from time to time I am testing different flavors of linux on my workstation/laptop. this time it is fedora 20 (kde edition). tried to install oracle 12c with my simple script and ups:

****** *** creating database  

SQL*Plus: Release 12.1.0.1.0 Production on Thu Jan 2 17:19:07 2014

Copyright (c) 1982, 2013, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

ERROR:
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact

the script does not work anymore. what happened? the problem is with the linking phase, reproducable by:

[oracle@localhost ~]$ /opt/oracle/product/base/12.1.0.1/bin/relink all
writing relink log to: /opt/oracle/product/base/12.1.0.1/install/relink.log

/usr/bin/ld: note: '__tls_get_addr@@GLIBC_2.3' is defined in DSO /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 so try adding it to the linker command line
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: could not read symbols: Invalid operation

make: *** [/opt/oracle/product/base/12.1.0.1/rdbms/lib/rman] Error 1

asking my favorite search engine gave the right answer

so, here is an updated version of the script which works for fedora20 ( keep in mind that fedora is not supported ):
