Sorry to hear about that. I do have one suggestion other than emerge -eu world. I don't know if you have epm installed or not, but I did an "epm -ql /bin " (to list all packages that had files in /bin) and here's what I got:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mike $ epm -qf /bin tar-1.13.25-r3 kbd-1.06-r1 sh-utils-2.0.15 e2fsprogs-1.27 ed-0.2-r3 grep-2.5-r1 sed-3.02.80-r3 gzip-1.3.2 sed-4.0.7 psmisc-21.2-r1 netkit-base-0.17-r6 procps-2.0.7-r6 psmisc-19-r3 setserial-2.17-r2 gawk-3.1.2-r3 util-linux-2.11y tar-1.13.25-r2 textutils-2.0.19-r1 util-linux-2.11o-r2 procps-3.1.8 pam-login-3.10 fileutils-4.1.11 net-tools-1.60-r4 sh-utils-2.0.11-r5 gawk-3.1.0-r2 bzip2-1.0.2-r2 textutils-2.1 shadow-4.0.3-r6 supersed-3.58-r2 e2fsprogs-1.32-r2 gzip-1.3.3-r1 net-tools-1.60-r6 debianutils-1.16.7-r1 baselayout-1.8.5.9 sash-3.4-r5 bash-2.05b-r3 nano-1.2.1 checkpassword-0.90 There's a good chance that yours is very much the same. It would be a lot less time consuming then rebuilding world as well. Good luck!
