MLton runs fine on the IA64 architecture.

## Notes

- When compiling for IA64, MLton targets the 64-bit ABI.

- When compiling for IA64, MLton doesn't support native code generation (`-codegen native`). Hence, performance is not as good as it might be and compile times are longer. Also, the quality of code generated by `gcc` is important. By default, MLton calls `gcc -O1`. You can change this by calling MLton with `-cc-opt -O2`.

- When compiling for IA64, MLton uses `-align 8` by default.

- On the IA64, the GnuMP library supports multiple ABIs. See the GnuMP page for more details.
