congratulations. this kills your system !
(i did the same *eg*)
use your rescue boot disk, boot,
make an extended 2 filesystem on your swap partition, install base disks
to your swap partition, boot with the boot disk from your swap
partition, mount your readl root to /target, copy bash and readline from
your swap partition to the right partition, install the symlinks.
shutdown your system, boot the real system,
make swapspace from your swappartition and activate your swap.
reinstall libreadline (the one from incoming !), bash and libreadlineg.
have fun with your glibc2 system.
andreas
(debian is great ! installing base on your swap partition is the best
rescue disk i ever met.)
