How about...

    --target=ia64-unknown-linux

I've successfully done a configure and make with
--target=ia64-unknown-linux on the following hosts:

    i386-unknown-freebsd4.2
    i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.5
    i386-pc-solaris2.8
    i686-pc-linux-gnu
    ia64-unknown-linux

Of course, this only takes care of the build portion.  If you want to
(somehow) test the resulting gdb, you need to have access to an IA-64
machine running Linux or a simulator (running Linux).

See http://www.software.hp.com/products/LIA64/overview4a.htm for info
on an IA-64 simulator.  (I did much of the initial development with an
i686-pc-linux-gnu cross ia64-unknown-linux GDB using HP's ski
simulator.  It is able to boot Linux and runs amazingly well.)

It may also be possible to use HP's NUE environment to do the testing
I have not tried this.
