[gpsd-dev] [PATCH 2/8 v2] Correct IA64 reference


From: Sanjeev Gupta
Subject: [gpsd-dev] [PATCH 2/8 v2] Correct IA64 reference
Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2018 02:27:50 +0800

Although IA32 is the old i[3456]86 architecture, IA64
is the totally different Itanium chipset.  The 64-bit
equiv of x96 is x86-64

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Industry_naming_conventions
