BTW, did you build all GNU toolchain in 64 bit
mode? I made some tries to get 64bit python etc
but stubmled over compilation errors and didn't
get enough free time to finish the effort.

did you try to start python -d and
>>> import cx_Oracle?

It may reveal that some symbols in libnnz10 aren't
resolvable. If this is the case, try linking with
bith libttsh10 and libnnz10:

.../cx_Oracle-x.y.z $ LDFLAGS="-lttsh10" python setup.py install

Alternatively, try linking against "static"
version of libclntsh10 -- libclntst10.
