I don't think it is.  While gc_os_dep.c was changed to set IA64, the
continuations.c, gc-malloc.c, gc-mark.c, gc.c, and threads.c files still
appear to have ifdef's based on __ia64__ instead of IA64.  I didn't try
to build the latest CVS sources but I don't see how guile could build
with these ifdef's on HP-UX.
