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. > I get the following errors using gcc version 2.96-ia64-000717 snap > 001117) The 2.96-ia64-000717 release is ancient history now.

This took care of the assembler 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. > My guess that 3.0.1 may not be the correct version for compiling 2.6.

The IA-64 port was written after gcc-2.95 was released. Anyone recommending gcc-2.95 for IA-64 is confused. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.SpecifixInc.com
