To reinstall glibc:
1. Boot your Red Hat CD with 'linux rescue';
2. Mount all needed partitions (/, /etc, /lib, /usr, /var - most of time
just /);
3. chroot to root:
# chroot <root-mount-point>
4. reinstall glibc:
# rpm -Uvh --force <path-to>/glibc-<whatever>.rpm
I never tested but should work since rpm is statically linked ;)
Hope this helps.
