Hi,

IMO the last version (patches carrying the revision number 6) should be 
working. There seem to be some remaining issues concerning bootloader support 
but that is the only remaining issue I am aware of. 

The only thing required is, that you will have to compile the compiler 
yourself ;-). It's not difficult, but you will probably spend some time if 
it's the first time that you are doing it :-).

Have a look at the last corresponding discussion threads on the avr-libc 
mailing list. If you have more detailed questions feel free to ask, but 
please always post such request on one of the avr-gcc lists rather than 
contacting me by private mail. There will be many skilled persons that will 
be willing to help you if you meet difficulties while building the toolchain.

Bjoern.
