I care about SPEC and IA-64.  I will try looking at this.  I am very 
busy though, so it may take a while.  It would be reasonable to submit a 
bug report for this so that it doesn't get forgotten.

At the moment, I don't have SPEC2000 set up on my IA-64 machine, so I am 
starting from scratch here.

All of the benchmarks are compiled under "-O2".

You can find example config files on the www.spec.org site.  There don't 
appear to be any special options for 173.applu needed on ia64-linux.

If you have time, you could try playing with optimization options.  Try 
just "-O" to see if it works.  If that doesn't work, try "-O0".  If 
"-O1" works, then you can try adding -f options to try to isolate which 
one is causing the problem.

You could also try other compilers, 3.3, mainline (aka 3.5) to see if 
maybe it is a gcc-3.4 bug.
