Good to see that.

For someone who cares about modules and ia64 performance: you might
want to consider to use "brl" in the PLT stub instead of the
standardized code sequence.  That would avoid an indirect branch and
associated mis-prediction penalties.  (Of course, this would be for
McKinley and later CPUs only as Merced doesn't implement "brl" in
hardware).
