Talk to Jeremy@goop.org He's at least half interested in having it

It is! Debs are available at
http://www,gelato.unsw.edu.au/~ianw/libc-nptl/
But you need to be running the latest 2.5 kernel to have it work.
Are you aware of the Gelato project? It's to support and promote
linux on IA64; it has lots of people using clusters, some in mission
critical situations like yours. See http://www.gelato.org for
details.
