I've just tested your patch on top of vanilla GNU Smalltalk 3.0.1.

All ANSI unit tests fail, from 64 to 107. It reminds me of the previous
ia64 problem, where gst was not able to cope with the image generated
for the ANSI tests.

Shouldn't generational gc on ia64 be disabled? (i.e. revert the commit
5e8e83837e44cb84d7ba0a7e5e2f2632746e1159). Do you want me to test on a
fresh git version?

I've uploaded the testuite.dir and config.log to:
