Hi,

For the PyPy project ( http://codespeak.net/pypy ) I am working on the
x64-64 support.

I would like to use llc -march=ia64 to generate the assembly but that is
not supported at the moment.
As a workaround I let llc generate C code that gets compiled, but this
unfortunately is not a good way
to show the power of llvm. A understood this ia64 support will be worked
on soon.

First week of july there will be a pypy-sprint in Goteborg (Sweden)
where the focus will be on translating Python code to other languages
like LLVM,C,Lisp,Java,etc..

Is there a change llc will support ia64 in about 4 weeks time or am I to
optimistic?

best regards
