There is no support for IA-64 in the gcc 2.95 release. The IA-64 port was
contributed after gcc 2.95 was released, and will not be added in. The IA-64
port will not appear until there is a gcc 3 release.
Whether Objective-C works is a separate question. I expect that it does not,
because it requires some obscure and often difficult to implement gcc features.
As yet no one has tried to implement these features for the IA-64 port. This
probably will not be fixed before the gcc 3 release, as there is still a lot
of other more important work that needs to be done.
