And only statically linked klibc-compiled executables work on IA64,
not dynamically linked ones. I’ve looked into it, but Itanic is so
massively foreign I didn’t manage to find out anything except that
the problem appears to happen before main.

I’ve held off on the m68k side because I think the role call was only
for architectures in the main archive, right?

Didn't Doko say he’d want 4.8? We (on the m68k side) are putting
effort into that one, since 4.7 appears to only be used by eglibc
right now. And 4.6 for GNAT, but gnat-4.8 is new, and the ICE may
be fixed as there’s active upstream on the GCC/m68k side.

<igli> yeah but it means if you really care about something, don't
ritualise it, or you will lose it. don't fetishise it, don't
obsess. or you'll forget why you love it in the first place.
