I recently wrote on table reorg and rebuild index
Rule number one : you cannot rebuild a partitioned index in whole. You need to rebuild each individual (sub-)partition
Rule number two : to rebuild an iot, move the table instead of trying to rebuild the underlying index
Rule number three : a LOB index is not really an index. Do not rebuild this
Rule number four : a NOSEGMENT index is not a supported type of index, but it may appear in your user_objects list. It is used internally by OEM and other tuning tools to do a what-if calculation on the explain plan. It is not listed in USER_INDEXES. Do not rebuild this
Test case :
SQL> CREATE CLUSTER c(x NUMBER);
Cluster created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX a01
2 ON CLUSTER c;
Index created.
SQL> CREATE TABLE t
2 (
3 p NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
4 a01 NUMBER,
5 a02 NUMBER,
6 a03 NUMBER,
7 a04 NUMBER,
8 a05 NUMBER,
9 a06 NUMBER,
10 a07 VARCHAR2 (40),
11 a08 CLOB
12 );
Table created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX a02
2 ON t (a01);
Index created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX a03
2 ON t (a02)
3 REVERSE;
Index created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX a04
2 ON t (SQRT (a01));
Index created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX a05
2 ON t (COS (a01))
3 REVERSE;
Index created.
SQL> CREATE BITMAP INDEX a06
2 ON t (a03);
Index created.
SQL> CREATE BITMAP INDEX a07
2 ON t (SIGN (a04));
Index created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX a08
2 ON t (a07)
3 INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context;
Index created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX a09
2 ON t (a05)
3 GLOBAL PARTITION BY HASH (a05)
4 (PARTITION p);
Index created.
SQL> CREATE TABLE i (x NUMBER CONSTRAINT A10 PRIMARY KEY)
2 ORGANIZATION INDEX;
Table created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX A11 on T(A06) NOSEGMENT;
Index created.
SQL> SELECT index_name,
2 index_type,
3 partitioned,
4 generated
5 FROM user_indexes
6 ORDER BY 1;

A function-based domain index should be rebuildable too, I have not tested this for you
