First - ia64 support was actually removed from the glibc **because** it 
was removed from Linux.

Second, how did you come to the conclusion that ia64 support will be 
removed from the gcc soon?

Rene said he would step up as maintainer for ia64 in gcc - see the 
thread at [1] - and I haven't heard any different since then.

@Rene: Can you confirm?

Let me correct that for you:

There is no need to fix any bugs for ia64 in Debian (Ports) - as sad as 
that is.

Cheers,
