It is?  Have you tried??

I can see this being an issue for AMD64, since GCC 3.2 didn't have good
support for AMD64 -- but GCC 3.2 supported all the rest of our platforms
just fine.

I truly believe it is simply that no one has been willing to even try to
port 'ezm3' to IA-64 and PowerPC.  Everyone demands JDP do the porting
vs. giving it try on their own [asking JDP for advice along the way].
