You should not upgrade glibc unless you are completely sure you
know what you are doing. Distro updates are fine, but please no
upgrade, as you just found out almost anything is linked against
it and will stop working.
If you have a working shell open and a statically linked version
of your package manager it might be fixable online.
If not, you need to reboot from some kind of rescue image, mount
your system to /mnt and reinstall (relocate + force) the proper
version of glibc.
Good luck
