IA-64 which was already there, Alpha, PPC, and SPARC were added. Also
update some other bits of the site to point to the new location.
Note: I didn't get a repo copy of alpha/alpha.sgml to
platforms/alpha.sgml because there wasn't any real useful history
to preserve. I also left the alpha/ dir in place for now but added
an index.sgml to point to the new location. I'll nuke the
directory once the translation teams have caught up with the
changes.

<h3>What needs to be done</h3>
|
|
<p>A lot of work needs to be done on the <a
|
|
href="http://www.cygnus.com/ia64">Cygnus IA64 toolchain</a>. At the
|
|
moment it looks like the various Linux camps doing IA64 development
|
|
have splintered off without merging their respective changes back into
|
|
Cygnus' tree. Anyone working on toolchain issues should coordinate
|
|
with <a href="mailto:obrien@freebsd.org">David Obrien</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="http://software.hp.com/ia64linux">HP's Linux IA64
|
|
simulator</a> is currently less than ideal for FreeBSD development.
|
|
<a href="mailto:marcel@freebsd.org">Marcel Moolenaar</a> is currently
|
|
working on some of these issues.</p>
