This statement by itself does not do anything except assigning the value '-lclntsh' to the variable ORACLE_LIBS. What you really need to see is the place where ORACLE_LIBS is actually used.

-lclntsh tells cc to use the clntsh library when linking the executable file.

More specifically

libclntsh.so or libclntsh.a

Typically this would be preceeded with

-L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib

or similar to say look for libraries here.

a wild guess would tell me this is a client library for Oracle.
