Doesn't the rescue version of RPM support the "--root" switch?
--root DIRECTORY
Use the system rooted at DIRECTORY for all opera-
tions. Note that this means the database will be
read or modified under DIRECTORY and any %pre or
%post scriptlet(s) are run after a chroot(2) to
DIRECTORY.
This should be fairly simmilar to repairing the issue with RH9 and the
wrong glibc (which causes RPM to segfault). I used to know the "official"
page for it, but I can't find it, but it is in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=102569
