Itanium Compatibility Mode?

[Ed Greshko <Ed Greshko greshko com>]

Hi,

HP/UX has what they call "compatibility mode" in that binaries compiled
in the RISC platform will run on the Itanium platform but at a cost in
performance.

I know it isn't quite the same...  But will binaries compiled on a x386
platform run under RHELv3 for Itanium?  I am thinking the answer may be
something like "Yes, if the libraries are statically linked".  But, not
sure....

In this case it will binaries compiled on RHELv3 x386.

Thanks,
Ed
