I did that once, and all commands stoped working. Except ldconfig,
which fixed the problem. :-). YMMV, of course. If ldconfig doesn't
work you may have to use a rescue floppy and remake the link. It should
be no problem to make it to the new libc.so.4.46 from rescue.
In general, it is easier to run an update to your primary libc as an
install (from an independent /) not just an update. Safer too.
