Re: status of ia64 for jessie and later

Pardon my ignorance, but "--with-system-libunwind" -- does that packages built with GCC using C++ exception, are linked against libunwind7 and not libunwind8, and the package needs to be compiled with libunwind8 present? i.e. libunwind.so -> libunwind.so.8

In other words, is a simple recompile necessary for these packages or is there more work that needs to be done?

no. GCC is configured with --with-system-libunwind on ia64. Wether this is
still correct, needed, should be changed or updated, is a task for the ia64 porters.
