OK, that's progress at least! I know we've never really bothered with cross-compilers targeting ia64, as it's not historically been considered a "slow" architecture. After you mentioned yesterday, I've also enabled building of the firmware netinst images for ia64 now. Of course, we still need to build a working kernel yet! -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
