Comment (by vbraun):

 Replying to [comment:133 dimpase]:
 > Can't one use the current ATLAS spkg on Itaniums instead of the new one?
 Or there are incompatibility problems?

 We can use a preinstalled ATLAS library on the buildbots. Given that this
 is by far the slowest part of the compile cycle, I think thats reasonable.
 We even do this officially on OSX where we always use the system-provided
 BLAS. But perhaps easier would be to update the Itanium archdef so that it
 doesn't have to tune. I just started a compile on iras, but don't expect
 the answer too soon ;-)

 > Itaniums are not a dying breed, at least AFAIK Intels still plans to
 release a new Itanium chip this year.

 Well Intel made some unfortunate (for them) contractual commitments
 here... But ia64 is certainly not getting much love.

 > Should we try getting Clint Whaley access to an Itanium machine?

 I've asked to that extend on the sage-skynet list.
