Have you tried to compile anything since you downgraded glibc?

I can use everything in linux other than Opera, except I cannot compile.
I get one of two error messages when I try ldd on the following programs
in /usr/bin:

1.  error in loading shared libraries:  libc.so.6:  invalid ELF header

Various programs from binutils.tgz:  ar as nm objcopy objdump runlib size 
string-BNU strip
These are all needed for compiling.  I got an error of this sort about as 
when I tried to compile one program.

2.  /lib/libc.so.6:version 'GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by 
/lib/libdb.so.3)

db_archive (and other db_ files)
perl
perl5.6.0
suidperl
splay - also 2.2.3 not found

When I tried to compile a program I got GLIBC_2.2 and 2.2.3 not found.

This is not my lucky week.  I also cannot get mousekeys to work even after 
compiling xkbset on a fully upgraded computer, with the author trying to 
make it work.  And today I cannot figure out keyboard fake mouse event for 
svgalib - has anyone ever used that to imitate mouse movements with the 
keyboard?

Thanks for the attempts to get this working.
