Yes, as I mentioned before I never tried an Itanium build because
I don't have any Itanium boxes.

When you did the build, did you take the Linux cross compiler approach
or did you use GNAT Pro on VMS Alpha to build the Itanium compiler ?

(As I don't have access to GNAT Pro, the latter wasn't an option
for me.)

I know you said you built gcc 4.7 for Itanium, but was that the FSF
gcc 4.7 or was it the GNAT Pro sources, which at one time was built
on top of gcc 4.7 (IIRC) ?

Simon.
