I'm aware of this. But unless the code was unmaintainable or broken, I don't see
a reason for removing it.
Debian (and NetBSD) still support hppa perfectly fine so the code is actually
being compiled, used and test-run. And guile has been building fine on Debian/hppa.
Access to hppa machines for testing and bug fixing is also available through Debian.

Are you using Debian's ia64 port? We recently resurrected it ;).
