Hey there, I saw the deprecation of ia64*-*-* scrolling by [1].
Which surprised me, as (minor bugs aside) gcc ia64*-*-linux just works for us and we still actively support it as part of our T2 System Development Environment [2]. For ia64 we are currently a team of three and also keep maintaining linux-kernel and glibc git trees with ia64 restored and hope to bring back ia64 to linux upstream the coming months as promised. [3] Despite popular believe ia64 actually just works for all those projects and we already fixed the few minor bugs we could find or reproduce. Last week I also already patched and tested enabling LRA for ia64 in gcc [4] and could -without any regression- compile a full ia64 T2/Linux release ISO that boots and runs including an X desktop and Gtk applications. That was of course even with the latest linux kernel and glibc versions with ia64 support restored respectively. Given there are currently no other volunteers, I therefore with this email step up and offer to become ia64 maintainer for GCC to keep the code compiling, tested and un-deprecated for the next years and releases to come.
