That's exactly what happened for me. For the record, for anybody else
who runs into this problem, here's how I fixed it:
1) Boot into another distro - I used Gentoo, but it shouldn't matter
what. Mount the Gobo partition on /mnt/gobo.
2) cd /mnt/gobo/Programs/Glibc
3) rm -r 2.5
4) rm Current
5) ln -s 2.4 Current
6) cd /mnt/gobo/System/Links/Libraries
7) ln -sf ../../Programs/Glibc/2.4/lib/* .
8) cd ../Executables
9) ln -sf ../../Programs/Glibc/2.4/bin/* .
10) rm -f /mnt/gobo/System/Settings/ld.so.conf (it's a symlink)
11) echo /System/Links/Libraries > /mnt/gobo/System/Settings/ld.so.conf
12) ldconfig -r /mnt/gobo -f /System/Settings/ld.so.conf -C
/System/Settings/ld.so.cache
13) cp /mnt/gobo/System/Settings/ld.so.cache /mnt/gobo/Programs/Glibc/Settings
14) chroot /mnt/gobo (this should work _at this point, and no sooner_)
15) SymlinkProgram Glibc 2.4
16) Reboot into Gobo
All those commands need to be run as root - under sudo is fine. It's
also possible that some of those commands aren't actually necessary, I
didn't perform rigorous elimination testing on them. It might be
worthwhile making up a statically-linked binary to perform those steps
in an emergency and including it in Scripts, if there's no way to
avoid it.
