Recent versions of glibc seem to provide that version of ld-linux.so.
All of my machines are using F17 (due for release in a few weeks) or
rawhide, so I can't easily check F16, but it probably also has the same
version of ld-linux.so.

It depends on what you need. They all use the same packaging system.
Fedora is using systemd instead of init for starting processes. There
is support for init scripts, but the differences could matter for some
stuff.

I do run sqlplus on a F17 machine at work. I needed to label some of
the bundled libraries since they were not correctly built (I think
they used writeable segments) and selinux blocks them by default.
That is a long way from running an oracle database instance though.

The livecd mailing list is probably not the best place to ask about this.
This is going to hit a much smaller part of the Fedora population, than
say the users list, and really your question isn't live CD specific even
though you are planning to use a live image for your work.
