You can do like this:
* Boot the LiveCD
* Mount your gobolinux installation in /Mount/GoboLinux
  (mount /dev/hda1 /Mount/GoboLinux) if it's on hda1...
* do 'chroot /Mount/GoboLinux'
* and 'SymlinkProgram GLibc <the old version>'

But perhaps it won't work after the chroot since the kernel on the
liveCD is too old... if it doesn't work you'll need to symlink GLibc by
hand. Or is there any option to SymlinkProgram to use a different root??
