Debian's automated building system, covering 11 architecture beyond i386, 
has logs going back until at least Oct 2001.  The page at

	http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=ia64&pkg=r-base

shows logs for all builds since R 1.3.1. All of those would have used our
scheme of atlas (at runtime, if available) or else default blas.

IIRC we always imposed at least a gcc 3.0 version on ia64.  We recently
switched to using gcc 3.2.* on every platform, so the point is a little
moot.

Hope this helps,  Dirk
