ARM profiles are delayed to potentially fix CHOSTs together with the profile update. Though no-one is actively doing the work to my knowledge right now. I guess it could cause trouble from default PIE vs no PIE from native compiler, but I don't know enough about that field to know for sure. If you pay attention to any future CHOST changes and handle them yourself at the right time, you could manually choose the appropriate 17.0 arm profile as your symlink (it doesn't show up in eselect profile due to no profiles.desc entry, but should be there in profiles/). If changes are done, you might be caught a bit off-guard though at the time they are done though and I'm not sure what the effects of that would be either (probably not too bad).
