root has no password

Description
Not sure how I mucked this up but the root login is not working, probably because there is now shadow file or similar.

The real problem here is that /etc/securetty does not have entries for tty0 or ttyO2. The OMAP kernels switched from ttySx to ttyOx for serial ports and for some reason tty0 is not in BusyBox's baseline securetty file. So I've created a new version of this file in src/buildroot/skeleton/etc with the proper entries.
What I need to do now is very the build properly picks this up. I need to determine how to get buildroot to completely rebuild the output/target from scratch without rebuilding all the binaries. Not sure if this is possible or not. If not, I'll have to rerun the rootfs build from scratch to verify the new file is properly picked up.
