NEWS: update ia64 info

Mention that ia64 has moved into ports/, and drop the old build/install
details that don't belong in the NEWS file in the first place.

Compiling the GNU C Library for Linux/ia64
******************************************
Please refer to the file INSTALL in the same directory as you found
this file for general information about configuring and compiling
glibc.
For general inquiries about glibc under Linux/ia64 please use the
following mailing list linux-ia64@linuxia64.org or one of the relevant
glibc mailing lists.
Recommended Tools for Compilation
=================================
In order for glibc-2.2 to build correctly on the ia64 you need at
least the following versions of the GNU tools (the :
* The Cygnus toolchain snapshot for the ia64 as of August 4
including the provided set of patches. It is however recommend
you use the October 24 toolchain snapshot or a more recent version.
OR alternatively you can try the following (the Cygnus toolchain is
the recommended solution):
* GCC and binutils, GAS and GNU LD out of CVS from
sources.redhat.com as of August 28, 2000 or later. The CVS tree
may require special patches to work properly on the ia64.
Configuring and compiling GNU Libc for Linux/ia64
=================================================
The library requires Linux kernel version 2.4.0-test4-000728 or
later to funtion properly. Besides that it support for debug libraries
is currently untested. Hence the following options
are required for configuring the library:
--disable-debug --enable-kernel=2.4.0
It is also important that you make sure the library picks up the
appropriate kernel header files, if you do not have recent enough
kernel headers in /usr/src/linux/include, you should use the
--with-headers=<path> option to specify the location.
As an example I personally use the following options to configure
the library:
--disable-debug
--disable-cvs
--enable-kernel=2.4.0
--host=ia64-linux
--enable-add-ons=yes
--prefix=/usr
--with-headers=/home/jes/linux/include
Good luck
