I had a fun time fixing that by scp'ing a staically linked busybox over using another system, decompressing the old package with that, using machinectl shell to gain root access, and then running pacman with LD_LIBRARY_PATH to where I decompressed the package to restore it. But then, I didn't even have to reboot! Note to self (and others): keep a statically linked suid root copy of busybox handy.
