I have already done so, with some success and some work still to go.

The changes I needed to make:
	- update config.guess and config.sub to latest version.
	  (this is required for MacOS X port too).

	- create machdeps/ia64_regs.h (I just use r4 and r5 for now).

	- modify mercury_regs.h (get it to include ia64_regs.h if
	  __ia64__ is defined).

Then I run into the problem that boehm_gc needs to be updated.
The latest boehm GC knows about IA-64, but the version we are using
doesn't.
