Hello All,
I try to update my avr-libc but compilation is fail with messages:
      
          
<snip>

    
        
avr-gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Gentoo 4.2.3 p1.0)
      
          
Are you using 'crosstool' to build your toolchain?
    
        
Excuse me, I meant 'crossdev'.

  
      
Yes with option -t avr. also I try manually in my home directory to 
build avr-libc. The result is same.

    

Crossdev is known to fail building a correct AVR toolchain. Please see the 
directions in the avr-libc user manual online on how to build an AVR toolchain:
<http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/>

Thanks,

I found temporary solutions to solve errors in crossdev compiling tool 
under Gentoo distribution.
This is problem is exist if try to compile avr-libc with low version of 
binutils <= 2.15
Solution:
1. Uninstall the avr tollchain with command:
crossdev -C avr
2. Start installation using crossdev with command:
crossdev avr
This is installation  fail with message:

This is result from trying to compile avr-libc without compiler avr-gcc 
- this is bug in script and I not find the solution because I.m is not 
expert in bash programming. But on this stage the binutils is installed 
(for me version 2.19) and ebuilds in /usr/locale/portage is created.

3. Installing gcc
add this row in /etc/portage/package.use
cross-avr/gcc -nls -fortran -gtk -openmp -mudflap
With command:
echo "cross-avr/gcc -nls -fortran -gtk -openmp -mudflap" > 
/etc/portage/package.use
Install GCC with command
emerge cross-avr/gcc
For me this is ebuild install version 4.3.2 of GCC.

4. Continue install procedure with crossdev tool with command:
crossdev avr
Script continue installing avr-libc
For me this is avr-libc-1.6.2
And that's all

I hope this hack help other users of avr-gcc under Gentoo to not lose 
like me time in additional try  to compile or update avr toolchain.

Bobby 73!
