I think you're stuck with rpm2cpio. Alternatively, you could build RPM statically on your machine, but my guess is that rpm2cpio would be easier.
Another possibility is to see what RPM links to, and upload your own versions of those into like /home/tmplib, and preload them. Do like: LD_PRELOAD=/home/tmplib/myownglibc.so:/home/tmplib/whateverelselibineed.so and use those while you are upgrading. Try it and see if it works.
