Crypt error on (re)building shadow

[tunah]

I'm running 1.1a, when I first compiled everything was great, unfortunately I messed up - I went to type "rm -r usr" but typed "rm -r /usr" and lost the most important stuff (gcc, make, etc) before I could hit ^C. I stuck in the install CD and just bootstrapped on top of my current setup and then did an "emerge -e system". Everything went fine except I got an error compiling shadow:
# ebuild shadow-4.0.2-r4.ebuild unpack
(extracts fine)
# ebuild shadow-4.0.2-r4.ebuild compile
(configures and makes fine)
# ebuild shadow-4.0.2-r4.ebuild emerge
(does a whole bunch of normal looking installs, compiles etc)
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=i686 -O3 -pipe -s -o sulogin sulogin.o ../libmisc/libmisc.la ../lib/libshadow.la

make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.

!!! install problem

BTW, I googled the "undefined reference to crypt" and managed to get rid of it by adding sulogin_LDADD=$(LDADD) $(LIBCRYPT) or something in the makefile, but then I get an error somewhere else. I know the makefile is fine anyway, because I used it to install before and it worked fine. I'm confused... anyone got any ideas? When I rebootstrapped it gave me a blank root password and now I can't change it
TIA

Yeah, I've been sitting with this error for a week.
No idea, but I wish someone would reply to this with the solution...

You're not the only one, though, if it makes you feel any better
