There is a statically linked version of the ln executable normally found at/sbin/sln which will save you in situations like this as long as you haven't deleted the original.
Unfortunately I didn't know about this when I installed an early version of StarOffice (I think) many years ago which tried to upgrade me from libc5 to glibc2. The install script renamed the old c libraries and then crashed because the cp command had stopped working. The dawning realization that *nothing* worked anymore was not one I want to repeat. Luckily I managed to repair the problem with an instance of xemacs which was already running under my normal login and a root shell with a built-in umask and echo.

This is a nice idea. Unfortunately your ISP will probably be caching these images so reloading them will not be directly hitting the intended target
