Mark, many thanks for your suggestions. I succeded in creating the oci8.so module (had to use oci8 1.2.2, though, since any later version requires php 4.3.10 or later, while SLES 9 provides only up to 4.3.4).
Now the only software not included in RPM upgrades will be the oci8.somodule (which I could easily build into an RPM with rpmbuild, but would never get upgraded anyway... right?).
