For the ia64-linux I can see some future, as HP pushes the Itanium |
| 9 |
platform in general, running either HP-UX, Linux or Windows (and even |
| 10 |
OpenVMS). |

Although we do not run Linux on ia64 yet, because it is 64bit only |
| 13 |
(unlike hpux, linux does not support 32bit emulation on ia64 AFAICT), we |
| 14 |
eventually could switch one of our compile-farm nodes from ia64-hpux to |
| 15 |
ia64-linux - maybe the cross-compilers would run faster then... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
But it's ok with me to drop ia64-linux ATM, and to re-add it when there |
| 18 |
is time to do so. |
