--- Comment #9 from dave.anglin at bell dot net --- I can't help much as I don't have a ia64 system. I don't think the issue in this PR relates directly to hpux. Rather, the bootstrap compiler has miscompiled the stage1 compiler. The 4.9 branch has been closed for a long time. gcc-8 is known to work reasonably well on ia64 Debian linux. I would suggest the interested parties see if they can find a bootstrap compiler that will successfully build gcc-8. No one seems to have tried testcase using a ia64-hpux cross compiler. Haven't heard back status of PR 61577. It's also a bootstrap issue.
