I've had libc get completely stuffed in an upgrade. It was easy to recover 
the system because /bin and /sbin contain statically linked binaries.

One solution would be to have a separate dynamic /bin and /sbin mounted 
over the static /bin and /sbin once the system had come up. But this
would complicate make builds.
