Is the X86 cross compiler still supported?

[jonesd]

Is there reason anyone would still be using the IA64 cross compiler for C on X86_64 (i.e. porting tools), rather than develop with the native C compiler? My SQLite build file still recognizes that environment, but if it is no longer a product I can remove it from the descrip.mms file.

The native C compiler on x86-64 is officially production ready. So I can't see any reason. Having license for C cross compiler on Itanium but not having license for C compiler on x86-64 must be a theory only scenario.

(Cobol compiler is still in FT and Basic compiler is stilling missing on x86-64)

I've got several products that require SDL (which is not yet available), so I'm still cross-building them.

Yeah, I could splice something in where I natively build the non-SDL parts and just cross-build SDL, but
rather than jerking around with the build procedure, I'll just wait until native SDL is available.

It's close, from what I'm told. It's written in C++, and apparently it has revealed some issues in our C++ runtime support.
