Ouch. Easiest way I can think of is same idea as yours - to boot off a |
| 17 |
CD, chroot into your usual / and emerge glibc. If you have another |
| 18 |
gentoo machine handy with the same or higher version of glibc, you |
| 19 |
could quickpkg it there and simply unpack it into the chroot. |

It's a reasonably large binary, 12M on my system. |
