Ah, I thought the existing page would stay unmodified and my changes would show up only for 6.2+ :(. I'll say "With GCC 6.2 and later, the AVR port requires...". Sounds good to you? Regards Senthil

[Patch, wwwdocs] Add caveat for AVR port
Hi, This doc patch informs the user that a specific (or higher) version of binutils is a prerequisite for the fix for a rather vexing bug (PR 71151) that was fixed for 6.2. I've added it to the Caveats section; is there a better place? If not, ok to commit?
