You don't have bash as your shell, but something else (kiss or somethign):
rulcmc:~$ type mount
mount is /bin/mount
rulcmc:~$ type cp
cp is /bin/cp
i.e., mount and cp arn't bash internals. But cat is, so that's why I
suggested the use of "cat ..>".
But if you had "cp" available, I'm rather sure that just saying:
cd /lib
cp ld-linux.so.1.8.10 ld-linux.so.1
would have done the job too (care to try it out? :)

Well, the intent was to save your system. So, yes you carried out
the intent. It's not quite the letter, and I still sortof wonder
wheter "cat" would have worked. At the time I had the problem, I didn't
think of using cat (and cp, mount, etc also were not available for me),
so I compiled my own statically linked version of cp, put it on a
NFS volume I happened to have mounted on a different computer, and
then used that static cp on my main computer to save it.
But later I realised that cat should just also save your system.
Anyway, I think about downgrading to ld.so-1.8 myself no, and try
the cat method (the only one available for people that use real
bash). If it works, I'll post a letter about that weekly to debian-user,
explaining future victims how to save their systems.
Thanks,
