I am not closing this report.
I do not have access to an IA64 machine so cannot test it.
The reason why I suggested using the Redhat build of IA64
is because a lot of IA64 work for gcc has been done
by Cygnus engineers (which is now part of Redhat).
Redhat is actively updating their compiler and adding IA64
fixes, so your best bet is to download the Source RPM from
them and test it on your setup.
Contacting Turbolinux is also a good thing to do, since they
can tell you how to obtain the latest patched version of their
compiler (which is derived for the work done at Redhat).
IA64 is not one of the primary testing platforms for the
FSF release of GCC.
