Are there any plans for BINUTILS port to IA-64 platform?

There is no real support for IA-64 in binutils 2.10.

The code is already in the binutils development tree and if you are impatient 
you can get it from CVS or use a snapshot.  This means that yes, it will be in 
the next release - but there isn't a lot of point in speculating when that 
might be.
