Those instructions are terribly outdated, but I don't know how to put a
better one.

The Gcc is IA-64 specific. Honestly, since this arch is hard to find and
not available at many places, and that Gnu compilers are known to be bad
and not really efficient on this arch, I don't feel like spending a lot
of time on debugging remotely compilers bugs.
