Ok.

In the emit_one_bundle hunk, inside the #if 0, you accidentally lost a
comment.  However, this code is long obsolete.  An idesc no longer has a
next field; this was dropped even before the code was contributed to the
FSF.  I suspect this happened when Bob Manson wrote the ia64-gen.c
program.  So we should just drop this #if 0 code instead of putting the
comment back.

As for the use of [:stuff:], I don't have a strong opinion.  It is fine
with me.  Since you are only adding this to IA-64 specific tests,
perhaps it won't be a problem for H-P.  As far as I know, he isn't doing
any IA-64 specific testing.  If you added this to generic tests, then it
would be a serious problem for him.  H-P says the feature has been there
since at least tcl/tk 8.2.3, which I see was released Dec 16, 1999. 
That was over 5 years ago, before there were even any IA-64 operating
systems available.  I don't see why we need to restrict IA-64 testcases
in order to support old versions of tcl/tk.  I think it would be
reasonable to require at least tcl/tk 8.2.3 to run the binutils
testsuite.  I don't mind if someone wants to overrule me though.
