Can I convince you to prepare a patch for profiles? Just copy the names from [1], update the masks and don't forget that embedded people are special and need a second copy of everything.

media-libs/babl-0.1.18 started using "f16c" flag that is also missing in the current description. /proc/cpuinfo reports it under the same name.
