Follow-up Comment #2, bug #32551 (project avr-libc):

An example of the problem is demonstrated by this forum post as well

I have seen bug 30363 but it seems unrelated

Something sounds very contradictory here.  Your comment says the delay is 4
times longer while the thread talks about delay being 4 times less. If the
problem is related to the topic discussed in thread, then it is exactly
referring to bug30363. 

The output is 4 less because previous version of avr-libc ( < 1.7.0) used some
algorithm where iterating through a loop takes 4 cpu cycles. The idea is to
iterate through the loop delay/4 times so that required delay is achieved.

However in 1.7.0, the loop has been replaced with builtins which provide exact
number of delay cycles. However the same parameter which was sent to the loop
(double __tmp = ((F_CPU) / 4e3) * __ms;) was used. This was fixed in 1.7.1
