The only change is the libc version. The script doesn't include patches for the
libc, so it should work.
The gcc-patch is only necessary to build avr-gcc with C++ support, but this
will not work until now. I don't know if Peter Jansen has finished his work with
the con/destructors.

I have seen some atmega128 defines in the source, but the start code isn't
generated (missing in configure.in).
I can remember of an email of Peter Jansen, who wrote, that the lates avr-libc
will contain the needed things.

Peter, what do you think about the start code?

Thank you very much for your praise.

The script is intended for the novices and for the lazy experts (like me).
For avr-gcc, you will not need patches. If the C++ support is ready, we can put
the patches on the net, but I don't know where this could be.
Any suggestion?

For the avr-libc there are no patches necessary and I don't think that this
would ever be, because Marek Michalkiewicz is really quick with new releases,
if you send him a patch.

Regards,
   Reinhard
