I have not stood the Anatoliy's patch in details as yet.
I shall to do it.

In general, there is a question: is it possible to avoid
any changes in GCC?  After all, it has the full set of
command line switches to point libraries?

And... Is it a good design of Avr-gcc, when any addition
new MCU leads to recompile GCC toolchain (or to install
the new WinAVR) instead to download io header and to add
a line into a small configuration file?
