Can't say the day wasn't coming... even if the architecture was kind of immune to the speculation security issues.
I suspect its instruction ordering backends is probably one of the most intricate that's not directly applicable to any other architecture. Did icc get deprecated too?

I had been meaning to build an Itanium workstation just as a platform to gain experience with a VLIW instruction set. Looks like my window of opportunity for that is closing (although parts are probably cheap right now).

Probably isn't worth it at this point... I should update my ia64 box's Gentoo install one last time or something before it becomes completely obsolete...
