I recall stumbling into when looking at the IA64 compiler that SGI recently releases. One guess might be to: 1) Get the IA64 emulator running under FreeBSD 2) Get FreeBSD up under the IA64 emulator 3) Start working on bugs? [Although, I could be totally wrong about the emulator... need to look around on the SGI web pages where I recall the link...] - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
