Can you make a new release?
I can give it a try, to see whether "make distcheck" works out of the
box.
As a quick fix, it could be pointed out on AVR-LibC's front page that
1.8.1 won't work with GCC v5.2+ and at least SVN trunk xyzw is needed with
GCC v5.2+.

FYI, GCC v5.0 and v5.1 won't work and should not be used.

Current trunk should work with GCC v5.x or later. It auto detects the gcc
version and builds accordingly.

The point is that v5.1 itself is broken, namely the new specs stuff.

v5.2+ uses a different directory layout to fix the problems, and avr-libc adjusted to the new layout. But the problem with v5.1 was inherently due to the old directory layout, and whatever avr-libc does cannot work around these problems of v5.1 (even worse for v5.0).

I was quite surprised back then when I saw that effort was put into avr-libc just to make it work together with a compiler that was known to be broken...
