I certainly have no idea whether you could use them or not, and I certainly wouldn't, but that means nothing, you just didn't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running it. If Oracle ships a broken libcurl then there's no difference in terms of what has to be done.

All the SRPMs are largely the same, they're just that, source.

Red Hat shipped their own Xerces 3.1 in 7. They have since orphaned it and have not provided important security fixes, but that's what the packages assume is used. I have no idea what Oracle Linux is, but the Xerces SRPM is in other repos I published in any case.

They're RPMs, nothing different about them from any other RPMs or how they work or get used.
