On Linux it works when changing the option to -m avr4, which I think
is the correct architecture for the 8515. I will see if I can generate a
patch file for this.

I have had some issues even when building on RH9. This is most likely to
be finger trouble since, I am still getting to grips with all the many things
under Linux.

Thanks I have found it.

I have not yet tried to build it. I will first see if I can build under Linux, 
and
if succesful I will build under cygwin and see if I get the same problem as
you got.

Ok, I have CC'd to the avr-libc list as well.
