The https://www.gentoo.org/
 project has
https://www.gentoo.org/news/2024/08/14/Gentoo-drops-IA-64-support.html

that it is dropping support for Itanium:


Following the removal of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium

support in the https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=cf8e8658100d4eae80ce9b21f7a81cb024dd5057

and https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=460860f457e2a889785c506e8c77d4a7dff24d3e
,
and https://public-inbox.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/75654daa-c5fc-45c8-a104-fae43b9ca490@gentoo.org/T/
, as well as
a https://projects.gentoo.org/council/meeting-logs/20240721-summary.txt
, Gentoo will discontinue all ia64
profiles and keywords. The primary reason for this decision is the
inability of the Gentoo IA-64 team to support this architecture
without kernel support, glibc support, and a functional development
box (or even a well-established emulator). In addition, there have
been only very few users interested in this type of hardware.
