It'a a very strange situation. You can run install mysql_install_db
but you should first move old privileges tables from mysql data dir.
You can read about running mysql_install_db at:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/m/y/mysql_install_db.html
After running mysql_install_db you will get new privileges table with
user 'root' without a password and default anonymous user.
You can also start mysqld with '--skip-grant-tables' option and re-create missing
columns using ALTER TABLE statement to add those missing columns:
`Grant_priv` enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
`References_priv` enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
`Index_priv` enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
`Alter_priv` enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N'
