Unfortunately this did not work; I could not get around the
dependencies on glibc 2.2. 

To shorten a long story, I have done a reinstall, and got the system
up to working condition within three hours.  There's probably the odd
package still missing, but I am reinstalling everything by hand
intentionally, because it gives me a chance to clean things up a
little and get rid of unused packages.
