ia32 legacy support is certainly needed (essential) in any complete
distribution. How else are you going to run stuff like realplay,
acrobat reader, etc. Also, if you think getting mozilla to run on
ia64 was a simple "recompile", you might want to reconsider (it was
far from that and even now there are some compiler stability issues).
