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

44 <p>
45 When compiling for IA64, MLton doesn&#8217;t support native code
46 generation (<span class="monospaced">-codegen native</span>). Hence, performance is not as good as
47 it might be and compile times are longer. Also, the quality of code
48 generated by <span class="monospaced">gcc</span> is important. By default, MLton calls <span class="monospaced">gcc -O1</span>.
49 You can change this by calling MLton with <span class="monospaced">-cc-opt -O2</span>.

54 When compiling for IA64, MLton uses <span class="monospaced">-align 8</span> by default.

59 On the IA64, the <a href="GnuMP">GnuMP</a> library supports multiple ABIs. See the
60 <a href="GnuMP">GnuMP</a> page for more details.
