Updating to Autoconf 2.63 and Automake 1.11 or 1.10.2 will fix the
issue.  However, given time I would like to fix the test failures
in Libtool, too.  (Even if it means only to skip the tests if Automake
is too old.)

Thanks.

No idea; searching the net shows some information on 64 bit flash
players, but I cannot tell you if that has any relevance to Itanium.
You are probably better off asking this either on a vendor or
distribution specific site.  Or contribute support to gnash!  :-)
