Can you explain this a bit more? You say there are already a lot of patches put into the base GCC script. Are these patches specific to other targets? Are you saying that *none* of the avr target specific patches are put into the Gentoo distribution of avr-gcc? > > - Can we get more volunteers?

That would be a fantastic start! :-) Even if you could just confirm the bugs. On the avr-libc website, there is now a list of all bugs for the AVR toolchain: <http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/bugs.html> The list of GCC bugs marks which ones are *UNCONFIRMED*. Specifically, these two need to be confirmed: <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26882> <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27192> Thanks Eric _______________________________________________ AVR-libc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-libc-dev
