I guess that's the default.

There was a changeset a long while back which made PowerDNS link with the Oracle libraries from the database installation not work any more (spectacular fireworks with tons and tons of unresolved symbols).

You appear to have libraries and includes from both Oracle database and Oracle instant client on your machine. I know from experience that linking with database client libraries does not work any more, therefore, you have to point ./configure to the oracle instant client includes and libraries, which, by the way, are different from what comes with the Oracle database, primarily in the fact that they export a lot more symbols.
