I just had the same problem, fortunately my MC was still open as root 
(cuz also ln was failing), then I went to lib path and had to symlink to 
2.3.2 at least
. ld-linux.so.2 and libc.so.6 afaik
after that I had to
. SymlinkProgram -c overwrite glibc 2.3.2
otherwise some links would still cause problems like when initializing
. konsole

maybe there could have some specific script code at InstallPackage, 
SymlinkProgram etc... concerning glibc as it can cause so much trouble... :)

I am always scared concerning glibc stuff ^^, thx God... oops thx Gobo 
XD there is live CD ^^
