   4 MLton runs fine on the IA64 architecture.

   6 == Notes ==
   7
   8 * When compiling for IA64, MLton targets the 64-bit ABI.
   9
  10 * When compiling for IA64, MLton doesn't support native code
  11 generation (`-codegen native`).  Hence, performance is not as good as
  12 it might be and compile times are longer.  Also, the quality of code
  13 generated by `gcc` is important.  By default, MLton calls `gcc -O1`.
  14 You can change this by calling MLton with `-cc-opt -O2`.
  15
  16 * When compiling for IA64, MLton uses `-align 8` by default.
  17
  18 * On the IA64, the <:GnuMP:> library supports multiple ABIs.  See the
  19 <:GnuMP:> page for more details.
