There is a project on sourceforge that tries to ship rpms for pretty
much everything related to avr including gcc, avr-libc etc.

http://cdk4avr.sourceforge.net/

I've cc'ed the maintainter. Not sure if he reads the avr-libc lists but
it would be nice to have one central place to grab up-to-date rpms for
all things avr and it would be even nicer if there was some correlation
between releases for winavr (in terms of tool versions and patches) and
the cdk4avr packages so that it would be easy to correlate bug reports etc.
for the different releases and establish a stable confirguration for users
who don't necessarily want to be on the gcc-3.4 cutting edge etc. The
home page claims it's a "leisure-time project" so outside help would
probably be most welcome to keep things up to date and polished/tested.

Thanks,
