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.
