[Gllug] glibc2.6.1 problem - Urgent!

Some useful tricks to keep in mind in future for surviving when
your dynamic linker is dead:

 - remember that sln and ldconfig are statically linked, so they
   always work.

 - echo is generally a shell builtin, so works as long as you have
   a shell running, where ls often won't.

 - keeping a statically linked copy of busybox around, configured
   with all the trimmings, is often useful: it gives you all sorts
   of recovery tools. (Recent busyboxes won't statically link
   against glibc, so you may need to build uClibc and a cross-
   compiler first. This is a bit annoying but a lot of distros
   have done it for you already.)
