Yes, there is a set of nasty bugs in the FSF 2.11.2 binutils release. As you have discovered, you need to either get the fixes (have a look at the binutils in src/contrib/binutils on freebsd as of a week or so ago, you need to fix ia64-asmtab.c from memory and a couple of other places) or use the freebsd version itself. The version in the freebsd tree works (or used to work, I haven't tried the one that was just imported) as a cross compiler just fine (with a bit of include file tweaking). cd src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils make TARGET_ARCH=ia64 DESTDIR=/usr/local/ia64 obj make TARGET_ARCH=ia64 DESTDIR=/usr/local/ia64 depend make TARGET_ARCH=ia64 DESTDIR=/usr/local/ia64 all make TARGET_ARCH=ia64 DESTDIR=/usr/local/ia64 install (you'll need to mkdir a tree under /usr/local/ia64 to keep the install paths happy, but these binaries will cross compile just fine.) I'm a little wary about using a top-of-cygnus-cvs-tree binutils (as we have in -current). We've had a track record of getting burned in ABI changes in the past with ia64. It is quite possible that the current version produces executables that we cannot use. I will check this out and see.
