Despite following the commands in Code Listing 10, and attempt to update an
amd64 system to 2005.0/no-multilib results in the following error:

 * It appears you have switched to the 2005.0 profile without following

right, code listing 10 should look like this:

# rm /etc/make.profile
# rm /lib32 /usr/lib32
# ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.0/no-multilib
/etc/make.profile
# emerge -upv system
# emerge -uv system

so fixing this problem on your box is quite easy, just rm /lib32 /usr/lib32

Just a note from my bug I marked as a duplicate of this one, the link in the
e-build is invalid.

the guide has been updated and the link was corrected too some time ago -> closing
