hmm...reload from backup...

no backup? maybe boot from rescue floppy and install libc6_2.2.5-14_i386.deb
with dkpg. You'll probably need
to do something like:
1) boot from rescue floppy
2) mount partions on /mnt to recreate your disk root file system
        e.g.: mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt
              mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/boot
              mount /deb/hdb7 /mnt/var
              etcetera...
3) dpkg --root /mnt -i libc6_2.2.5-14_i386.deb

Can't get dpkg to work? The next thing I would try is to unpack libc6
with ar and tar and run ldconfig. Take a look at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/quick-reference/ch-package.en.html#s3.2.9
to get some idea of how to unpack a deb using ar. 

good luck.
