What OS are you using? Don't just say Linux. What distro, version, etc.Trust me, you don't want programs just installing all the libraries they need. Your system would end up with 50 different versions of every library known to mankind.
The standard C library (libc) is an important part of the operating system, it makes no sense to slap it in with the install of some developer tools...
I doubt you can find an RPM fit for red hat 7, I'd recommend installing or upgrading to a recent distribution.. RH7 is 6-7 years old, a lot can happen in that time.
If you can't upgrade and really need Java, you can install glibc from source code.. download & installation instructions here
