Indeed, you'd best run Oracle on SLES.

Now, one solution would be to compile GCC 3.x yourself, that's at least
how I do it to have Oracle on some development boxes.

It's quite easy to do actually. Just grab

mkdir -p ~/download/gcc
cd ~/download/gcc
wget \
http://ftp.belnet.be/mirrors/ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.3.6/gcc-core-3.3.6.tar.bz2
tar xf gcc-core-3.3.6.tar.bz2
cd gcc-3.3.6
./configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-3.3.6
make
su -c "make install"

That's it.
Before you start Oracle's runInstall, make sure to put GCC 3.3.x in the
path, first:

export PATH=/opt/gcc-3.3.6/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gcc-3.3.6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Note, if you're on a 64bit system:
...
./configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-3.3.6 --libdir=/opt/gcc-3.3.6/lib64
...
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gcc-3.3.6/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
