Yes, but that's a compiler issue, not an OS issue. eCos will use long
longs, and if they are real 64 bits or not doesn't normally make a
difference - if the port supports 64-bit usage all it has to do is always
save/restore the full 64 bits.

But the Itanium is not an embedded processor, so don't expect a port for
many years.
