There may be many corner cases where you can create .config
files that do not build on ia64 (on x86 people regularly
generate random config files and then fix Kconfig dependencies
that allow impossible permutations - but nobody is doing that
for ia64).

Unless you have a particular attachment to the config
file you used, you might be better off starting from
arch/ia64/configs/generic_defconfig ... which is known
to build, and should boot on most machines.
