<p>This page contains information about the FreeBSD port to Intel's IA-64
|

architecture; officially known as Itanium Processor Family (IPF). As with
|
|
the port itself, this page is still work in progress. Please send any
|
|
comments and suggestions to <a href="mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org">Marcel

|
working.</p></li>

|
<li><p><b>10-May-2002</b> <a href="mailto:obrien@FreeBSD.org">David
|
|
O'Brien</a> switched the in-tree compiler to GCC 3.1. Due to his efforts
|
