Hi Steve,

If your customer needs WinAVR, then why are you spending your time trying to
compile it under Cygwin? WinAVR is compiled under MinGW/MSYS, and is already
prebuilt for you. I just did a new Release Candidate that you can get on the
WinAVR site on SourceForge. Also, WinAVR is always patched with the latest
device support, bug fixes, etc.
