Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't amd64 and ia64 architectures
nearly the same? Beside 3dnow/sse instruction sets of course.
If so, shouldn't we have the same kewords ("amd64 ia64", "~amd64 ~ia64"
or none) on every package that don't use 3dnow/sse instructions?
no, they are totally different arches. ia64 is for itanium, which was
intel's horrid first attempt at a 64-bit successor to x86. amd64 is, in
most places, refered to x86_64, and refers to processors with the amd64
or emt64 chipsets.
they are totally different. jfgi next time ;-)
