QEMU does not support IA-64, so VMs are likely out. 20+ years ago, HP
had an IA-64 emulator that sort of worked, but didn't handle the
82-bit registers of IA-64.
However, I have a physical IA-64 server box that runs Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Server release 5.11 (Tikanga). I successfully built
rsync-3.4.0 on it yesterday like this:
$ export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
$ ./configure --prefix=$prefix --disable-xxhash --disable-zstd
--disable-lz4 && make all check
The three disabled compression features are not available on that
system. Also, when I found that the patch files for 3.4.0 could not
all be installed, I abandoned any attempt at using them, and just took
the stock rsync-3.4.0 bundle.
Here is what my IA-64 version reports:
$ rsync --version
rsync version 3.4.0 protocol version 32
