Thanks for your explanation.
I've got a little problem, though: I don't seem to get any lib files.
Instead, the Makefile generates .d, .eep, .hex, .lss, .lst, .map and .o
files.
The real question is: How do I get a file that is suitable to link
against.
In plain C I always do such things using libtool, but avr-libc doesn't
use it and when trying to put up project dir using autotools and a
Makefile.am, I failed.

 Chris
