Re: [avr-libc-dev] Release philosofy questions

[Lorne Gutz]

I have been using  gcc3.2 with binutil 2.13 for some time with
avr-libc 20020203.    A couple of weeks ago I started work on
an ATmega8.   Well there was no startup code in 20020203 
so I just installed avr-libc 20020630 right over top to get the
proper startup file and everything has worked.

Are there any known bugs that I should look out for with this
combination?  If I find any I will post them here, and I plan
to upgrade gcc to 3.3 when a stable version is released.

thanks
Lorne
