NUE was useful when IPF hardware was hard to get, but that hasn't been a
problem for a long time.  As a result, NUE hasn't been updated in a
while, and has obsolete versions of tools.

The 2.96-ia64-000717 release is ancient history now.  It shouldn't be
used anymore.

gcc-3.0.1 and binutils-2.11 are also both old tool versions. 
binutils-2.14 is the latest release and should be OK.  Gcc is at 3.3.1
now, but 3.2 is probably also usable.

The IA-64 port was written after gcc-2.95 was released.  Anyone
recommending gcc-2.95 for IA-64 is confused.
