BuildRequires are only evaluate at build time, so i don't think this is
really a usefull BR.
Oracle provides several RPM (oracle-xe, oracle-xe-client,
oracle-instantclient, ...) where ORACLE_HOME is not defined and not used.
More, this official RPM doesn't provide anything usefull :
$ rpm -qp --provides oracle-xe-client-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm
oracle-xe-client = 10.2.0.1-1.0
So you'll also have to define :
AutoReq: 0
To avoid creating a RPM which require something not provided by anything
Even more, most Oracle admin doesn't use RPM to install it.
I'm used to add, in my spec :
%define oraclever 10.2.0.3
BuildRequires = oracle-instantclient-devel = %{oraclever}
