8 Find a backup of linux-headers somewhere[1] and untar it.

10 Then you can emerge again, starting with linux-headers of course
11
12 [1] there's many places you can have backups
13
14 - something you made yourself
15 - off a recent install cd
16 - someone here can mail you a tarball
17
18 but the best of all is to put "buildsyspkg" in make.conf, this makes
19 backups of all @system packages as they are merged and puts them in
20 /var/packages.
21
22 @system packages are the only things that can really nuke your ability
23 to merge stuff (assuming you don't also nuke python or tar - that is
24 catastrophic)
