OK, I'll roll one up shortly! However,

Yes, just build the CFE as if you were on a plain old Linux/x86 box and 
everything will Just Work. Beware the terrible C++ alignment issue, though:

for the moment, most C++ programs will fail on IA-64, even if you use 
the CBE. This one will get fixed shortly though, one way or another. ;)
