Avr-libc is compiled with avr-gcc. The random functions in avr-libc are written in C, hence the generated code is dependent on the avr-gcc compiler. Avr-gcc 4.3.0 has code generation problems that are known. Avr-gcc 4.3.2 fixes those code generation problems. So it is a matter of what version of avr-gcc was used to compile avr-libc. Is that any clearer? _______________________________________________ AVR-libc-dev mailing list AVR-libc-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-libc-dev
