Pretty sure this is the news item for profile switch to 23. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Toolchain/23.0_update_instructions If you can post what profile you are currently on, I'm sure one of us can point out the one you need to switch to. The naming is slightly different. It is important to follow the instructions pretty well. Example, before switching, you need to complete your emerge upgrade. Usually emerge -auDN world will get you there.. Then do the profile switch. I tried skipping that step and it didn't go well. Luckily I was in a chroot and could just start over. Dale :-) :-)
