Did the applications you built actually run? I compiled hello world
but it wouldn't run on TurboLinux release 000828 English Frontier (Burning
Man) because the cross compiler linked it with /lib/ld-linux-ia64.so.2
(which points to ld-2.2.so), but the os has /lib/ld-linux-ia64.so.1
(points to ld-2.1.3.so, which is in glibc-2.1.3).

Which os issue are you using? Since most machines out there are
still glibc-2.1.3, could you perhaps recompile for that (or make your
src tree and build instructions available and I'll do it?)
