How about this one? I should have put in in the first place. If your
machine doesn't support cut and paste, I can make the option shorter.
We have quite a few problems with the ia64 toolchain because very
people build the cross compiler with a different C library. My patch
may be annoying to you. But it helps people who doesn't use newlib.
Can you live with adding a new option to your configure script?
I really appreciate it.
Thanks.
