This is a known issue when installing db client/FMW products that use this client on Linux 7 release.
The issue occurs when binutils version 2.26 or 2.27 has been installed on the system. This breaks compatibility for certain shared library links
Bug 25562661 : ORACLE 12.1.0.2 32BIT CLIENT INSTALLATION ON SLES12 SP2 FAILS.
SOLUTION
Currently, the known solution to fix this issue is to downgrade binutils package to version binutils-2.25 and then reinstall the software.
# yum downgrade binutils-2.25.1-32.base.el7_4.2.x86_64.rpm
