Yikes. Lots of threads on this. I guess it can hit speed bumps.

My issue is that I don't understand a step 6. It says that "old profiles are by default split-usr" ok. Here is what eselect profile.

That's right. If you look in the footnotes of the news item, there's a link [5] to the profile mapping table.

17.1 being by default split-usr means that if you don't see split-usr in the name it's split-usr. On the other hand 23.0 being by default merged-usr means that if you want split-usr profile you must see it in the name, otherwise it's merged-usr.

So your conclusion you need to choose 48 is correct.

If you did choose 27, then when you get to the next step, binutils stops and tells you the profile is wrong according to the directory structure on disk and stops, so nothing bad happens. You can then select the correct profile (as you say - [48]), and continue to follow the instructions.

Modesty prevents me from telling you how I know this!!
