I think it's generally OK to require gcc for arbitrary embedded
targets. Of course ia64 is not such a target. But I think it's OK to
require gcc for a cross to ia64, leaving the case of a ia64 native
build.

A 64-bit type is, of course, available via bfd_vma. I agree that a
proper port would use something along the lines of bfd_sprintf_vma.
