Itanium support will no longer be removed from GCC and Itanium will
instead continue as a supported architecture (at least for Linux).

There's a call in that article for an open source full-system emulator.
Good luck with that one, especially for one that would run VMS as well. :-)

One question: Why ? :-)

Simon.
