But what's the point of adding support for devices that is not
complete, and causes build errors?

Given that we specifically released avr-libc 1.7.1 in preparation of
the AVR Studio 5 release, I'm a little surprised the AVR Studio 5
toolchain needs to apply private patches to avr-libc in their
distribution at all.  IMHO, everything that is ready for the users
could have been in the tree before, and everything that isn't, why
is it released anyway?
