I patched REPOS to 11.2.0.4.3.
Downloaded patch 18522509 for Linux-x86 to /opt/oracle/software.
cd /opt/oracle/software unzip -qo p18522509_112040_LINUX.zip
Use the following command to check the version of opatch:
opatch version
The output is:
OPatch Version: 11.2.0.3.6 OPatch succeeded.
This is the minimum version required, so there is no need to upgrade opatch.
which make ar id nm
All of the required programs were found:
/usr/bin/make /usr/bin/ar /usr/bin/id /usr/bin/nm
In order to check for possible conflicts with existing patches, I ran the following commands:
cd /opt/oracle/software/18522509 opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -ph ./
The output is:

The good news is that there is no conflicts.
