(Due to my mistake the last message was sent to me only instead of the list)

Unfortunately not, the non-desktop profile is very stripped-down 
compared to the desktop one. There's maybe 20 or more USE flags present 
in my merged profile that are missing from [51].

In the meanwhile I tried to switch to my merged 23.0 profile, in step 9 
binutils updates fine while gcc builds but fails to install with no 
error message, so for now I'm back to 'merged' 17.1. Tomorrow I'll try 
to analyze the install log better.

BTW, the only differences comparing emerge --info before and after the 
switch are:

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed"

vs

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs"

and

USE = "cli fortran"

that after the switch disappear in favour of the new ones

USE = "lzma zstd"

(at least, in my 'crooked' local profile)
