I had (have) the same problem... I work around it in the following way:
First, I move the new libc out, to run with the old libc (12.0)
cd /usr/lib
mv libc.so.12.3 lc
ldconfig
Then, I start X. Most commands complain about the old libc version; once
X is running, though, I do this:
cd /usr/lib
mv lc libc.so.12.3
ldconfig
...and the new libc is being used again. From what I understand, X needs
to be recompiled... I haven't had the time yet.
