Thanks. Now "make check" passes on ia64. The only remaining issuses
are

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/sysdep.S (__ia64_syscall):
	Removed.

I believe the kernel <asm/unistd.h> should only export the system
call numbers to the user space and the user programs should use

	syscall (__NR_xxx, .....)

In anycase, glibc 2.2 doesn't export __ia64_syscall. We should fix
it one way or the other. I prefer to fix the user programs.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/clone.S: Make it dummy. No need
	for it.

Ulrich, I believe the consensus is to remove clone for ia64.

Thanks.
