I'm sure it's going to need some work.
The people that know can't tell because of nondisclosure agreements,
but you can be sure that there are people on this list actively working
on gcc for the IA64 as part of the Trillian Project. We outsiders
can only speculate about how badly the code sucks, or how fast the
code flies.
See http://www.linuxia64.org/ for information on Trillian.
