/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found

[Zero-0-Effect]

Think I may have destroyed my system here.

I have been using the ~x86 keyword in my make.conf file now for a long while and decided to switch back to stable. I manage to downgrade a few key packages just fine then unknowingly downgraded glibc - went from 2.4 to 2.3.6 while trying to downgrade a few other programs and didnt notice glibc in the list of packages to be downgraded. After the downgrade was unable to run etc-update or anything for that matter. Seems that the only programs I cannot run are the ones I need to fix the problem.

Any ideas on how to fix this without reloading from scratch?

Some of the errors:

I was able to boot up with the livecd copy over some important programs.. mainly cp,mv,mkdir,install,etc.. and then was able to rebuild coreutils,binutils and now I have a somewhat more usable system I can continue to repair.
