;-) Problem: I can not even login anymore, since I have "insecured" the
console for security reasons and the shell is rejecting due to a symbol
missing. I tried booting into single user mode, but that doesn't help
much. I really fu**ed up the box by stupiditely interrupting the install
process at some point letting my finger play tired on the keyboard.

The only way is to boot into rescue mission disk/dvd and try copying the
corrupted libc with another one ... I hope it doesn't make difference
then that most images I saw compile with legacy GCC and I built the
whole system with CLANG.

Thanks and regards,
