As it is, I am just now showing that I can build entire production quality Linux distributions with my (currently non-standard) compilers on IA32, and I want to extend that to a couple more platforms. Intel has graciously short-term-loaned me a IA64. Before Christmas break, I poked around, and all the Linux distributions for IA64 seemed GCC 2.96 based, except for the Redhat rawhide distribution. But, testing with alpha-test distributions makes me nervous that I would be testing much more than my changes. Now that my compiler modification is starting to work, I thought I'd poke my head out and ask what distribution I should use that would expect GCC 3.2 or later? Or perhaps, if you have a fork going in GCC for IA64, I should use it instead? The purpose is to propose inclusion of my modifications into the GCC main branch. -- Perry Wagle (wagle@wirex.com)
