Where can you download the latest IA-64 cross compilers in binary form?

I am not aware of anyone publicly distributing IA-64 gcc cross compiler
binaries.  It is a lot of work to build and maintain them, and I don't have
time to do it myself.

Sources for the latest IA-64 GNU toolchain can be found at ftp.cygnus.com
in pub/ia64-linux.  It isn't too hard to build them cross.  Just copy
/usr/include and /usr/lib from the ia64-linux target to the host, and then
use configure with --target=ia64-linux --with-libs=<path to ia64 /usr/lib>
--with-headers=<patch to ia64 /usr/include>.

Actually, we do (http://software.hp.com/ia64linux/), but the current
release is still based on the February 2000 snapshot, which doesn't
qualify as the "latest".  We hope to update the LDK in the not too
distant future, but it's probably going to be in the Feb to Mar
timeframe.
