judging from debian, i'd propose these steps (do it on your own risk, but  
as long as actually a libc6.so is avaliable, you probably can't really  
break anything except opkg's idea of the system):

- back up status file!
- get a listing of _all_ files belonging to the libc6 deb (including  
postinst, preinst, and so on)
- get the stanza for a correctly installed libc6 ipk (debian ha a  
staus-old, but if opkg has too, it might have been overwritten already;  
some other shr user could post it) and replace the one in your status  
file; remove the stanza for the deb
- get the libc6 ipk and install manually
- remove all files belonging to the deb
- check for consistency, probably those debs you mentioned will be broken,  
because the libc6 package version doesn't match
