[Linux-ia64] native ia64 32-bits compile & run on linux-ia64?

Hi all,

I am wondering if the Linux & GCC port on ia64 allows compilation &
execution of native i64 32-bits executables (not speaking about ia32
compatibility, but native 32-bits on ia64).

HP-UX & AIX (at least) have this generation & execution options, because
execution speed would be sorted as follows, in descending order:

* native 32-bits executables
* native 64-bits
* ia32 emulation

I did not find any clue of that neither in the GCC web site, nor from
the "Linux on ia64" site.

Anyone has information on that? Is it part of the "non-said" wish/todo
list ?

TIA
