That'd be ia64/ILP32, which isn't supported on Linux (or Windows, though it is on HP-UX).

I only wished Red Hat would be more willing/interested/active in discussing such things on public mailing lists.

I just wanted to make it clear why I think it would be short-sighted to pub x86 libraries in /usr/lib on ia64. --david
