I would recommend using an initramfs which includes the necessary shared libraries. I'm pretty sure dracut and genkernel-next support this. If you roll your own initramfs, this isn't terribly difficult either -- just use ldd to figure out which files you need, and copy them to /lib or /lib64 in the intiramfs image.
