Restore ld-2.3.2-so : can I do this?

Hi,
I have Fedora Core 1 installed on my PC and on a spare partition I am
trying to build a minimal Linux from scratch.
The thing is when I come to install glibc, the libraries are messed up:
newly compiled ld-2.3.2.so overriding the old one coming with Fedora Core,
and now I can not run any simple command.
I checked /lib directory, it seems ld-2.3.2.so is the only one get
overwritten, so I am trying to restore it like this:
1) extract ld-2.3.2.so from Fedora Core CD, glibc RPM
2) use Knoppix to boot the PC
3) copy over ld-2.3.2.so
It seems reasonable to me, but I got some problem.
1) I see several glibc-2.3.2 RPM on the first CD of Fecora Core,
glibc-common.2.3.2-101.i386.rpm, glibc-2.3.2-101.i386.rpm and
glibc-2.3.2-101.i686.rpm. I wonder which one I should use? My PC is Celeron
366MHz. Because I can not run rpm on my PC, I really do not know which
original RPM glibc is.
2) How to extract a particular program from a rpm package? I can load the
CD on another linux machine, but I do not have root permission on it, -- and
I do not want to override any library on it. I tried this way:
* edit ./.rpmmacro and define %_topdir to my local directory
* rum "rpm -i <one of the 3 glibc rpm packages>
but I get some errors saying can not lock some file under root, permission
denied.
Could you please help me on this?
Thanks.
