I'm not sure if someone else suggested this or not, but...

Have you tried to boot with "init=/sbin/sash"?  sash is a statically
linked shell ("stand-alone shell"), so at least *it* won't be affected
by a hosed libc.  It might help you get back into your system so that
you can at least poke around.

I've never tried it, but it might be worth a shot.  If it is installed
;-). 

Good Luck,
Craig
