This doesn't help me in my case as I cannot even get the box up without a
recovery cd ... wish I could ... any other suggestions? Or is this something
I can do while booted from the rescue or survival cd ??

OK, this is the problem:

You're "upgrading" from the i686 glibc to the i386 glibc.  The upgrade
ordering puts the "new" i386 glibc on the system, runs the %post,
which fails because there are some files in /lib/i686 and
/usr/lib/i686 left over from the "old" i686 glibc which are used in
the %post.  Once the %post fails, the "old" i686 glibc never gets
removed, so you're stuck with things using the wrong libraries and
you'll get segfaults all the time.

This is how to correct the problem:

run:

$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
$ su
Password: [enter root password]
# rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.3.2-11.9
glibc-2.3.2-27.9
# rpm -e glibc-2.3.2-11.9

(substitute the glibc for the "old" version, whatever you have
installed)

At this point dynamically linked apps will work again, and I would
STRONGLY suggest that you upgrade to the i686 version of the glibc
packages by using:
# rpm -Uvh --replacepkg --replacefiles glibc-2.3.2-27.9.i686.rpm
