porting on ITANIUM2 platform under HP-UX

Ah, seems we need Itanium2-specific test-and-set functions for HPUX, or
perhaps our problem is that HPUX is assumed to be PA-RISC.

The problem appears to be coming from
/pg/backend/port/hpux/tas.s.template. However, I have to say I don't
see any fancy assembly in there. I am confused.

... etc ...

Looks like you need to write a version of tas() for the itanium2
hardware. Or turn off HAS_TEST_AND_SET, but that'll be slow as a dog.

Both. But until someone contributes some Itanium assembly code, there's
little point in generalizing the HPUX config settings ...
