IIRC I've recovered from a similar situation once by copying select
libraries from another similar box on which I hadn't made the same
mistake to /tmp/recovery/lib, and then running something like
/tmp/recovery/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /tmp/recovery/lib \
/bin/rpm ...

Probably worth a shot.
