[Swift-devel] mystery runs on ucanl

[Ti Leggett]

This looks like you're trying to run ia64 code on an ia32 machine.  
Double verify that you are in fact requesting the right type of node  
(ia64-compute for ia64 and ia32-compute for ia32). If you don't, you  
will arbitrarily be placed on an available node, which could be either  
architecture.
