Please read all commands carefully first and +make sure you understand them, since the procedure is risky. The +commands are given for a lp64d profile; in case of a lp64 profile, +always replace lp64d with lp64. + +# cd /usr/local/lib64 +# cp -av lp64d/. . +# rm -rf lp64d +# ln -s . lp64d + +# cd /usr/lib64 +# cp -av lp64d/. . +# rm -rf lp64d +# ln -s . lp64d + +# cd /lib64 +# cp -av lp64d/. . +# rm -rf lp64d +# sln . lp64d + +Note that the last command uses "sln" instead of "ln -s". + +Then switch from your 17.0 profile to the corresponding 20.0 profile, +either by using "eselect profile" or by manually changing the +/etc/portage/make.profile symlink. + +Next, rebuild all packages: + +# emerge -eav world + +As last step, check if portage has removed any of the symlinks created +above, and if yes, recreate them.
