I think a chroot-environment with carefully picked libraries and tools could
solve your problem without any need to reboot. However, this requires a big
amount of disk space and a lot of work to get the required tools installed in
that environment because it forces you to rebuild a big part of the
user-space runtime.
Gentoo requires similar steps when installed from a stage1 boot disk. So I'm
pretty confident that this method works, but I cannot tell for sure. Try at
your own risk :-)
