OK, that's progress at least!
I know we've never really bothered with cross-compilers targeting
ia64, as it's not historically been considered a "slow" architecture.
After you mentioned yesterday, I've also enabled building of the
firmware netinst images for ia64 now. Of course, we still need to
build a working kernel yet!
