Mistakenly renamed libdl.so: system got corrupted
Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit (Hardy Heron LTS Desktop edition) OS on a 64-bit intel hardware (x86_64). I have wrongly renamed the /lib64/libdl-2.7.so shared library file and now hardly few commands are working. My Gnome UI display has gone and I could not establish any new connection via SSH. I cannot run "ls" or "mv", or "cp" as these basic commands rely on libdl library for dlopen, dlclose operations etc,. It is a build server machine for our project and I am reluctant to reboot the system as it has to be run 24/7 (Hudson setup is there).
How I can resolve the system now? I guess recovery mode does not help in this case.
What if I boot via Ubuntu installation Live CD and mount the hard-disk and do the rename? Will it help?
What other options I have been left out?
This is really an urgent issue. Your help is highly solicited and appreciated.

PLDD(1) Linux User Manual PLDD(1)
NAME
pldd - display dynamic shared objects linked into a process
SYNOPSIS
pldd pid
pldd option
DESCRIPTION
The pldd command displays a list of the dynamic shared objects that are linked into the process with the specified process ID. The list
includes the libraries that have been dynamically loaded using dlopen(3).
OPTIONS
-?, --help
Display program help message.
--usage
Display a short usage message.
-V, --version
Display the program version.
EXIT STATUS
On success, pldd exits with the status 0. If the specified process does not exist, the user does not have permission to access its dynamic
shared object list, or no command-line arguments are supplied, pldd exists with a status of 1. If given an invalid option, it exits with
the status 64.
VERSIONS
pldd is available since glibc 2.15.
CONFORMING TO
The pldd command is not specified by POSIX.1. Some other systems have a similar command.
NOTES
The command
lsof -p PID
also shows output that includes the dynamic shared objects that are linked into a process.
The gdb(1) info shared command also shows the shared libraries being used by a process, so that one can obtain similar output to pldd using
a command such as the following (to monitor the process with the specified pid):
$ gdb -ex "set confirm off" -ex "set height 0" -ex "info shared"
-ex "quit" -p $pid | grep '^0x.*0x'
BUGS
Since glibc 2.19, pldd is broken: it just hangs when executed. It is unclear if it will ever be fixed.
EXAMPLE
$ echo $$ # Display PID of shell
1143
$ pldd $$ # Display DSOs linked into the shell
1143: /usr/bin/bash
linux-vdso.so.1
/lib64/libtinfo.so.5
/lib64/libdl.so.2
/lib64/libc.so.6
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
/lib64/libnss_files.so.2
