What does "gcc -v" say?

The file crtm328p.o does exist in /usr/avr/lib/avr5 along with the other

Ive been using it for mythtv and diskless systems (NFS over TCP) for
quite awhile and its a fight every few months to find out why host x
syuddenly doesnt want to play. But otherwise works well use wise in a
controlled environment.
Laptops are a whole different matter though - you might be better off
side stepping if its only looking at media by looking into streaming
rather than storage mapping. Otherwise, Samba is probably the next
best.

To clarify, building everything except gcc works fine - its gcc itself
thats problematic

I look? - its obviously trying to do something on the
network but cant access it until its properly up and I need to login to
get the network up after moving it. I can get into a console and run
things manually, after which its fine, but that misses the point :)

Point 4 is that the network design sucks. Can you list what ip
number/subnet mask you have on the internal PC, the router internal
interface, the router external interface and the adsl modem internal
interface. And on which device the NAT/firewall is happening (please
done say both ... :(
Point 5 ... thats enuf for now :)

but large scale deleted
(60Gb copies of laptops etc) are much slower than reiserfs. My only
"glitch" has been dirvish/btrfs inability to deal with a ".gvfs" file in
some home directories - it has some wierd permissions but an exclusion
from the backup regime bypasses it. reiserfs doesn't have a problem
with it.
So, for me at least, btrfs is looking like the way forward. Its in
"testing" at the moment, but I am ready to move whole systems over to
it.

include your full (sanitised) ntp.conf
and /etc/conf.d/ntpd.
This might help us see more detail of what is happening.

There is one case where ~2xram is still a good idea - when hibernating
to swap using (in my case) tuxonice - 2xram gives a reasonable safety
margin for hibernation plus existing swap contents.

update fixes?
The bios microcode update is likely an enable setting rather than the
bios actually updating the cpu. You need to do some reading/asking of
the manufacturers (not here) if it bothers you.
