RE: [avr-libc-dev] headers only / bootstrapping an avr toolchain

[Stu Bell]

The consensus is that Linux users trying to compile the avr toolchain should 
avoid crossdev like the plague.

There is a sticky at the top of the AVRfreaks.net GCC forum on compiling the 
toolchain for Ubuntu.  I recommend following that set of scripts to see if it 
solves your problem. 

Best regards,
