Sorry David - missed that post - my eyes tend to get drawn to the same
question being asked 3 times in succession instead.

If he doesn't take your advice - his problem I guess.

Thanks at least for trying to help him.

One could also try actually watching for an answer, which I posted
yesterday.  Try:

http://www.linuxia64.org/

Just in case Prasanta does happen to be listening, I can tell you from
my limited experience working with ia64 that even if the changes
necessary to support ia64 aren't backward compatible to ia32, the
changes are probably minor enough that a few #ifdefs should handle it.

Prasanta, asking 3 times is not going to get you an answer any faster. If
you haven't received a response it is probably because we don't know.
