Porting the Hurd to L4



Hi Folks !!!
 
I just was wondering about something : I ve already read papers about L4.
It is technically designed to excel on the ix86 architecture : L4/i486 is then different from L4/iPentium.
But Intel will soon (days or months whatever!) launch the ia64 processor.
 
Will L4 be ported on such an architecture ? You already know that Hurd is presumed to be devoted to large systems first, then it might be a solution for the today's bottlenecks in Linux concerning graphics (=-D). The goal would be to provide such an interesting operating system on that platform, no ??? As I haven t read for a while a paper on L4, I m maybe wrong.
 
Regards,
    Marc.
