Later this week I can commit the tweaks for IA64 into the CVS repo. Over the weekend I tinkered with building a 3.0.1 cross compiler. It generated asm syntax that the old gas did *not* like. So I connected it up with your binutils backend and built a kernel eventually. That was the combination that was screaming about dependency violations. Anyway, it spectaculatly didn't work [froze on startup, not a single printf], but this is not definative for several reasons. First, I used GENERIC and I think I may have forgotten the hints and/or other kernel patches. Secondly, I changed so many things at once and used an untested cross compiler. Finally, I managed to corrupt the binary install, so I ended up tossing it all out and starting again with a clean set from dfr. I think we can safely ignore this particular misadventure. I will try it again - just the new binutils this time - and let you know how it goes.
