That looks like it might work.  But I'm not sure that
installpkg works correctly by itself.  There are many 
other files in the pkgtool set and installpkg might 
rely on one (or more) of them.

What error message did you get?  Perhaps something
about ldconfig not being found?  Try running ldconfig
(from the ramdisk) by using the one on the HD:
-------------------------
/hd/sbin/ldconfig -r  /hd
-------------------------
That might be all you need to get your glibcso.tgz
to work.  Normally, after you install a library
package, installpkg automatically executes ldconfig
(to link the library -- otherwise the system won't
find it).  ldconfig is not in the ramdisk version
of BL2.  So, when you installed glibcso.tgz package
(from the ramdisk), installpkg was unable to find 
ldconfig (therefore leaving the library unlinked).
