With the latest turn of the crank we just lost gdb. It was flagged as a broken packaged and removed.

The broken dependency is:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libdebuginfod1 : Depends: libdebuginfod-common (>= 0.188-2) but 0.188-1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

gdb didn't drop ia64 support, you just ran into this problem:

Small update on gdb itself:

Today gdb installs fine again. I guess the dependent package did complete building.

But installing doesn’t mean it works. It currently doesn’t. Here is the output of a simple session: [1]
(...)

gdb currently doesn't really work on ia64. There are some kernel bugs that need to be fixed
first. Gentoo developer Sergei Trofimovich planned to address these issues, but I don't know
what the current status is.
