Well, quite an amount of work, alas.  There's no central template in
CSiBE where this could be changed, instead, they apparently manually
changed each and any of the Makefiles etc. in the src/ subdirectories
there, so it's almost 50 files to make identical changes to.

I intended to spend my time into trying the various possible GCC
configurations (including the really promising idea Richard Guenther
proposed), not into patching the benchmark tool.  It's not that I'm a
university student anymore that has almost indefinate time at hands to
spend...  That's been 20 years ago.

Another thing is to extend CSiBE so it could be used to compile some
meaningful AVR code.  It's not that I'm lacking that kind of code, but
these manually hacked Makefiles for each tool make it kinda difficult
to adapt the benchmark suite to different sources that are more
appropriate to the AVR.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
