gcc in IA64

What's the status of gcc in IA-64?
I understand that the IA64 architecture is such that compiler optimization
becomes far more important than in the traditional x86. I also understand
that traditional compilers have not performed this kind of optimization
before, and that without it the software produced comes out very slow.
In this light, I was hoping I could get some questions answered:
1) How efficient if gcc currently in IA64?
2) How does it compare with other compilers?
3) Will it take a long time before gcc can make proper use of the IA64
architecture?
4) In the near future, should I be looking at x86-64 instead?
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
