As I noted in another thread, the profile switch involves a change in 
the LDFLAGS, with the addition of the 'pack-relative-relocs' option. 
https://rfc.archlinux.page/0023-pack-relative-relocs/ suggests that 
adding this flag might trigger issues with tools not up-to-date. I 
suppose that is why the gentoo devs instruct to rebuild binutils/gcc 
before 'emerge -e', and that might be the reason why your first attempt 
worked only partially.

BTW my update to split-usr 23-0 went pretty smoothly, next will be to go 
with the merged-usr.
