Yes, these need to be answered, though it shouldn't be hard.  For
ia64, I think the answers would be:

        preferred format: lp64
        other formats:    undefined (may want to mention that ia64 UNIX ABI
                          specifies /lib32 for ilp32; there are no plans to
                          support this under Linux)
        emulations:       /emul/[<arch>-]<opsys> in general,
                          /emul/ia32-linux for the specific case of Linux/i386

Thanks,
