Aye, but isn't ia64 "flavour of the month"?  :-)

As far as I can see, the difficulties with getting hppa-linux in are:

a) In order to support hppa-linux cleanly without duplicating lots on
header file defines, I split out various things in existing config/pa
headers.  That means there is potential for HPUX breakage.  HPUX support
doesn't break, but that's almost beside the point.

b) Some patches I made really attacked symptoms rather than causes.  I'd
need to remove these before support as a whole can go in.  Of course, we'd
need to be sure that our compiler isn't broken if I remove the bandaids.

c) Having time to do it.
