the biggest thing holding you back is going to be the lack of a kernel.
You might want to grab the latest one, see if it builds, and if not,
try and shake out any problems that you may come across.

If there is going to be a FC2 for ia64, it's very unlikely to be
a tier 1 architecture however, as currently yours is the first mail
I've seen asking for it. Which is quite scary considering I've seen
2-3 requests for an s390 port 8-)
