Yeah i have tried NUE.It is good and gcc is 2.95 something and glibc 
2.0. 
	I even tried copying the nue ia64-hp-something headers files and 
giving gcc the option with --header to that directory but it messed up as 
i previously mentioned

I don't know what the error is.Can you tell me where i can find the docs 
or how do i build the parallel glibc and gcc . It is nasty but it works.
I saw this on earlier lists other ports but hardly found the procedure.

The problem is that building an alpha target is easy .But when i apply 
the same rules to ia64 it breaks.GCC breaks.
