Yeah, you'll need to boot with a rescue CD and run rpm off the CD. 
Don't chroot to the /mnt/sysimage, though.  Instead, run this from the
rescue environment directly:

rpm --root /mnt/sysimage -q --qf='%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n' glibc

My intent on suggesting this command was to determine if the i386
version of glibc got installed accidentally.  That can cause havoc on
a i686 system.  You would need to forcibly install the i686 version to
fix the issue in that case.
