If /lib/ld.so is hosed and you cannot run any dynamically linked program, then you might be able to start programs in /altroot by running something similar to...

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/altroot/lib:/altroot/usr/lib  /altroot/lib/ld.so /altroot/bin/sh

...so that you run the dynamic linker directly, as a wrapper program.

That's another good tip, thanks for that.

I'm hoping not to have this situation happen again, mind!
