Subject: Correct IA64 reference
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

The gpsd code is well-tested on IA32 and x86-64 (amd64) chips, also on ARM,
+PPCs, and MIPS. Thus, it's known to work on mainstream chips of
either 32 or 64 bits and either big-endian or little-endian
representation with IEE754 floating point.
