simply compile with older versions of gcc?


Not if they need other aspects of a newer gcc (e.g. more functional
ia64 support)

Actually it is the more functional HPUX IA64 support and not really GNU/Linux IA64 support so it is a not really a problem at all. Remember that GCC is GNU's compiler first then a free source one.

Also IA64 is doomed to fail as Intel and HP seems like they are moving away from it into x86_64 support.


Thanks,
