Do you know what may have removed that file? If you have gentoolkit installed then you can do "equery check glibc" to see if any other files are missing.

nsswitch.conf has a number of other entries in it which if missing may give rise to similar weird problems like this. You might like to extract it from sys-libs/glibc (the owner on my system) and replace it with the full file.
