Hi,

  As the Sparc native backend was just removed today from OCaml, it might be interesting for some of you to know that OCamlPro recently resurrected the ia64 native backend and ported it to HP-UX for one of its customers. The whole story is here:

  So, if you are interested in using OCaml on new architectures, or new versions of OCaml on architectures that are no longer officially supported, just contact us.
