The HelenOS microkernel project would be affected by this as we are actively developing and maintaining our ia64 port using GCC. Currently we are using GCC 8.2 but will eventually want to upgrade to newer versions of GCC, preferably on all our architectures at once and to the same GCC version. We build with -O3 and in the past we reported and helped to test fixes for the following GCC ia64-related bugs: - https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53975 - https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66660 We are ready to submit and help with more reports like these, it's just currently we are not bugged by any ia64-related GCC issues. It would be a tremendous loss if GCC dropped support for ia64 in the future. Hopefully someone with the right combination of skills will volunteer.
