I was saying that gcc can be used by anyone without signing any NDAs.

Then you're the man. I was just trying to spark some discussion about the
IA32 to IA64/x86-64 fork, and which way we're going (or if we're going both
directions). I appear to have succeeded. I was also looking for a way to
contribute to the effort. Having not found a page involving FreeBSD ->
x86-64, how was I supposed to know you were 'doing' already ? In any case,
thanks for 'doing', because everyone benefits from your work.
