+ 2) cd /usr/tmp/profile-update
+ 3) wget http://dev.gentoo.org/~eradicator/amd64/Makefile-profile_update-2005.0
+ 4) lynx -source http://dev.gentoo.org/~eradicator/Makefile-profile_update-2005.0.md5sum | md5sum -c -
+ 5) make -f Makefile-profile_update-2005.0

+Do it yourself:
+ 0) If you currently have USE=-multilib, you need to set multilib in USE and
+    re-emerge gcc.
  1) emerge -v '>=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51-r9'
